hello allo thanks to all for your help
recompiling qmail-toaster*.src.rpm for making changes in chkuser my requirement was as such when my clients use webmail and send emails to say around 50 or 100 users and even if one of the recepients had a bad email id like a spelling mistake in their domain name or email formatting, then the entire email used to fail this was pretty annoying because the error message simply used to say : no valid mx or invalid format, without mentioning exactly which email id is at fault i would have preferred to remove mx checks and format checks on webmail ie disable only for those emails that originate from my server, but this is NOT POSSIBLE, i could only disable mx check / format checks for the entire server which is not what i wanted so the only solution i found was to enable #define CHKUSER_STARTING_VARIABLE "CHKUSER_START" and then recompile qmail toaster as per instructions given here http://wiki.qmailtoaster.org/index.php/Chkuser during the process is highly recommended that you keep the sleep time to around 10 or 15 mins ie 600 or 900 seconds so that you can relax and do what you need to do. important points when you do recompilation all folders under /var/qmail including the queue seems to have been modified. ensure that after you recompile, be sure to modify the tcp.smtp file and recompile the cdb as per new chkuser settings once again thanks to everybody rajesh > On 04/06/2010 12:00 PM, Rajesh M wrote: >> thanks very much jake >> >> one very important point >> >> will this recompilation also reinstall / recreate the qmail queue which >> is >> the most scary part ? >> >> rajesh >> >> > > It should not wipe out the current queue, but you would want to stop > inbound smtp services to allow the queue to clear out before performing > this anyway, just to make sure you do not remove anything that you wish > you had not. > > > --------------------------------------------------------------------------------- > Qmailtoaster is sponsored by Vickers Consulting Group > (www.vickersconsulting.com) > Vickers Consulting Group offers Qmailtoaster support and > installations. > If you need professional help with your setup, contact them today! > --------------------------------------------------------------------------------- > Please visit qmailtoaster.com for the latest news, updates, and > packages. > > To unsubscribe, e-mail: > qmailtoaster-list-unsubscr...@qmailtoaster.com > For additional commands, e-mail: > qmailtoaster-list-h...@qmailtoaster.com > > > --------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Qmailtoaster is sponsored by Vickers Consulting Group (www.vickersconsulting.com) Vickers Consulting Group offers Qmailtoaster support and installations.
