Hi list. I use courier mostly with useraccount-based delivery (authpam) and let my users control which addresses exist and which don't. They can do this by providing suitable .courier-files.
A problem is, that if accidentially a user prohibits user "mail" from accessing his homedir (chmod 700 ~), courier accepts all mail to user-foobar and decides later in the delivery process if it is deliverable or not. Is thare any option to tell esmtpd that unaccessible home dirs should be a showstopper for that user? If this occures, I want the user not to get any mail at all, it should be rejected with a temporary error. I run a cron job to fix the issue, but at the moment, this is kind of a race condition. As far as I read the docs, there seems not to be an option for this behaviour. what do you think of such an option, could this be implemented? Background: If this situation occures, courier behaves much like QMail, accepting all shit and then bouncing it back to whereever Return-Path points to. This makes my box a spam-machine (I think of silly bounces as spam) and I got listed at spamcop for such reasons in the past. So I want to prevent QMail-style mass-bouncing globally, what I think is not possible at the moment. cu, Bernd
