Wouldn't the simplest way to accomplish this be to wrap qmail-pop3d with a shell script that did something like: qmail-pop3d ./Maildir/ rm -f ./Maildir/cur/* That's _very_ dangerous. What about dropped connections before all mail is retrieved? And AFAIK there are clients connecting once, auth'ing, LIST and QUIT (our script deletes all Mail then) and reconnecting later to actually fetch mails (would fetch mails - your script deleted them all then...) - pop3 webmail clients (IMHO broken by design, but anyway...) come to my mind. -- * Henning Brauer, [EMAIL PROTECTED], http://www.bsws.de * * Roedingsmarkt 14, 20459 Hamburg, Germany * Unix is very simple, but it takes a genius to understand the simplicity.

Re: qmail-lspawn patch for hosting multiple local domains

argument, the name of the local user to verify. This patch makes
qmail-lspawn call qmail-getpw with two arguments; the name and the domain
of the local user to verify. This, together with a modified qmail-getpw,
will enable qmail to differentiate between the local domains that the
server is hosting.
I have never checked, but I wonder whether the qmail-ldap guys have
had to do the same thing?
No. You need to forget aboy some qmail stuff when using qmail-ldap. We just
have user accounts and assigned mail addresses. VEry straightforward. A
simple (simplyfied) user entry looks like
dn: cn=brahe, ou=intern, dc=bsws, dc=de
cn: brahe
userPassword: {crypt}censored
uid: brahe
mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
mailAlternateAddress: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
mailAlternateAddress: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
and so on.
Basically, in qmail-lspawn a search using the filter
(|(mail=address)(mailalternateaddress=address))
is done, where address is the full rcpt address.
For auth'ing the uid and userPassword attributes count. There is no need in
qmail-ldap to distinguisch between local part and domain part in an address,
and there is no relation between email addresses and uids except that they
belong to an user account.

qmail anti-virii
Hi There, I am new in qmail and want to migrate qmail with security purposes but I want to know how to deal with virus, worms, etc. It is possible to configure qmail with some tools which check the contents of mail, attached docs, etc. All my server are Linux powered and all clients are Win2k. This is why of my mail. Docs, Tutorials, etc. will be helpful. In advance Thanks! #-- # Averroes A.

rblsmtpd and 'tagging' emails
Hi Folks, Is there any way to use rblsmtpd to simply set a header in qmail, rather than bouncing emails? Thanks, Lance

You can also try this script; http://www.ornl.gov/its/archives/mailing-lists/qmail/2001/03/msg01041.html don't forget to use the -i flag on all grep commands so that you won't miss the upper case characters. cheers Eduardo Augusto Alvarenga wrote: Averroes [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: I am new in qmail and want to migrate qmail with security purposes but I want to know how to deal with virus, worms, etc. It is possible to configure qmail with some tools which check the contents of mail, attached docs, etc. All my server are Linux powered and all clients are Win2k.

Re: qmail anti-virii
I am working through a few last minor issues, but Kaspersky Antivirus for Linux servers has a nice qmail integration piece. http://www.kaspersky.com (You'll want at least the August 1st 3.5 build 136 version - mime problems with earlier versions) Basically, you start the antivirus daemon, rename the original qmail-queue file, drop Kaspersky's qmail-queue in it's place. qmail-smtpd passes inbound mail to the Kaspersky qmail-queue which performs the scan via the running daemon process, then passes off virus-free email to the original qmail-queue program. Logging is to syslog, or a file, or both. You have options of emailing the offending users that they have sent infected email (most of these I am finding are getting bounced for all the obvious reasons). You can also send an administrative mail to your network admins to keep you up to date on incoming (or outgoing) email virus activity. I am pretty happy with it. I'd be glad to comment more, show configs, or help in any way.. I just don't want to clog up the list on my first day here. grin Averroes wrote: Hi There, I am new in qmail and want to migrate qmail with security purposes but I want to know how to deal with virus, worms, etc. It is possible to configure qmail with some tools which check the contents of mail, attached docs, etc. All my server are Linux powered and all clients are Win2k.

Qmail, tcpserver, environment variables, and qmail-smtpd
Quick question regarding tcpserver, environment variables, and qmail-smtpd. I'd like to be able to stop inbound smtp connections for systems that don't have at least a DNS A record. I mean, c'mon... If you are running a mail server, it should have a valid DNS entry, no? Anyway, here is where tcpserver comes in, or so I thought. I figure I can use the default -h option (or -p 'parinoid') to set the $TCPREMOTEHOST variable for inbound servers with valid DNS entries, and have inbound connections stopped or allowed based on that, right? Wrong. (or so far it appears to be wrong) I am trying to understand the purpose of being able to set environment variables like $TCPREMOTEHOST with tcpserver for incoming connections (ie: using the -h option or -p 'paranoid' option to perform reverse DNS lookups) and set or unset the $TCPREMOTEHOST variable based on DNS information. when qmail-smtpd does not seem to care, or make any use of it. Is a shell script to be called in place of qmail-smtpd to check environment variables, then pass control back onto qmail-smtpd? Any comments, or pointers would be appreciated, even if you are just going to tell me I am being too paranoid.:) Bill Arlofski Unix Systems Administrator The Hotchkiss School [EMAIL PROTECTED]
