Can anyone point me in the right direction? Go back and re-read Life with Qmail. This is covered extensively in the section on /var/qmail/supervise/ and symlinking the subdirectories to /service/, aka 2.8.2.2. The supervise scripts. -- John Groseclose [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Re: disallowing certain remote recipients
At 11:38 AM -0500 7/20/01, Joshua Nichols wrote: Hey all-- I've searched the archives and not found a solution that seems to solve the following problem: I have a box (lwq + qmail-verh basically) that runs a number of opt in lists. Recently, a user sent a bunch of UCE, and though that problem has been solved, I'd like to be able to enforce the request of those who complained and asked to never receive another email from us. Because I anticipate other users breaking their TOS at some point in the future, I'd like to be able to block certain outbound addresses at the qmail-send or qmail-remote level. Ideally, I would have a control file that listed addresses and wildcards that this box would refuse to send mail to. That is, if [EMAIL PROTECTED] requests that our service not allow sending to his domain, I could put that restriction on the box, regardless of whether [EMAIL PROTECTED] subscribes to one of these lists, or is added against her will or whatnot. Try the badrcptto patch or the spamcontrol patch, either of which will check against the envelope recipient and refuse to accept the message. Alternately, nullroute all of the MX's for the domain in question. -- John Groseclose [EMAIL PROTECTED]
NetGear, was Re: I get timeouts

The original revision of the NetGear cards apparently used a real tulip driver - I had two of the original cards, and two of the later ones (FA310TX) and the older ones work flawlessly, while the later ones do all kinds of bizarre things. -- John Groseclose [EMAIL PROTECTED]

It means you have to create a Maildir in /etc/skel, which is the reference directory for useradd to create new user directories. Then, every time you run a useradd, it'll use a copy of /etc/skel to create their new user directory, with the files set to be owned by the new user. Files and directories like Maildir and public_html (assuming you want your users to have web pages) can be put in /etc/skel to reduce your workload when creating users. Are you the primary administator for that machine? man useradd explains this fairly well. -- John Groseclose [EMAIL PROTECTED]
