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

That's interesting, Rajesh.
I'm not real clear though how this solved your problem. Can you post your tcp.smtp file for reference?

I would have though you could have turned of MX checks globally, then turned them on selectively in your tcp.smtp file. Perhaps that's what yo did. I don't see how the CHKUSER_START variable helped your situation.
