Hello all,
A quick question, curious about what others are doing…
We still use qmailadmin with our vpopmail setup, because it does handle all the
basics pretty well. One weakness that’s giving us grief is forwarding. Since
qmailadmin has no option to both pipe the mail through the spam scanner and
*then* forward only clean emails, we end up forwarding large amounts of spam to
various large mail providers. These providers may or may not view that as spam
being sourced from *us*, and then throttle/queue/block us.
For some people that I know are never going to touch qmailadmin, I put together
my own maildrop config to handle this, but I don’t have a solution for the more
general users that might change the forwarding settings.
What’s everyone else doing?
Thanks,
Charles
I block the spam before it enters the system using simscan.
Thanks - not an option here since I need to allow users to opt in or out, etc.
I do run with the spamc and maildrop options enabled. I know that with the
spamc switch, all mail is being scanned. I’m not totally sure where
vdelivermail normally throws email to qmail-inject in the delivery path, or if
the maildrop patch causes maildrop to always do final delivery. If maildrop is
the last thing in the chain, I’m wondering if I can short-circuit the existing
forward mechanism and force a “toss this if spam flag is “YES”…
Off to try to follow vdelivermail.c… :)
If you are running with maildrop, vdelivermail isn't being used.
Maildrop is doing the actual delivery to the Maildir.

Rick
