Re: SPAM control...

[David Stults]

This is also something I would find very useful, from an ISP point of view. We have generic anti-spam features in place, including RBL and some content-filtering (scoring, like spamassassin does), but as of yet we have no way to support user-specific whitelists and blacklists. I've had a number of requests for this from my users, and I've considered writing a lightweight filter I could use to do LDAP-based lookups, but it sure seems like it would be even better to make it part of Qmail-LDAP, which already has to lookup the user record anyway.

I could write a hack myself for Qmail-LDAP, but somehow I suspect that the code would be better created by someone who does it professionally. I'm competent in C, but not much more than that. :-)

My $0.02.

The badmailfrom, badrcptto.. are system level blacklist. What I am referring
is a personalized blacklist. This allows user to customize a list say 300

Hi all,

I am thinking whether blocklist or whitelist can be considered as part

of

the qmailLDAP implementation. Any comments?

Depends on view-point.
rbls are implemented (blacklist).
badmailfrom, comming badmailfrom-unknown and badrcptto are also

blacklists.

access control of tcpserver with different env-values as whitelist or
blacklist.

So you see there are a lot of options to blacklist or whitelist something.
