If mailfront simply made the contribs obsolete that would be fine. That would simply mean we could rebuild them to work with mailfront. Unfortunately mailfront in it's current form does not offer the same features as obtuse so there is no way to rebuild the contribs to work with mailfront. I've tried to research this but I find the mailfront web site very poor with no valid documentation. I've posted my 5.5 beta comments and tried to ask for assistance from Mitel but no one stepped forward to work together with me. So, on my own, AFAIK, the only thing mailfront appears to use is /etc/tcprules/tcp.smtp and then simply passes to qmail for everything else. I may be missing something but no one has stepped up to offer any other advice yet. With no smtpcheckrules for instance, the default qmail settings are all we have to work with. Therefor incoming mail, checks against /var/qmail/control/badrcptto & rcpthosts. Both are qmail features, not mailfront. Badrcptto uses the 'internal' db entry and rcpthosts uses the hosts/domains db entries. 1) Can anyone see a way for mailfront or qmail to restrict incoming e-mail to valid e-mail addresses only? Next, the only way I can see to block e-mails is to create and template a badmailfrom file. However this again is a qmail feature, not mailfront, and is limited in options. 2) Can anyone provide details for creating the equivalent of smtpcheckrules with mailfront? If the answer is YES to these, and someone shares 'how', or even provides a starting point, then I will try to rebuild the contribs to work with mailfront.
