You can do that, easily, but it would be silly to expect qmail to have code to deal with that possibility. Agreed... that's why I tweaked qmail-scanner. It scans every email anyway, so with a teensy bit of Perl tinkering, I changed the local copy to check the To and From headers against a db file for instances of the particular username and send a copy to a different address if found.

Spam is worse than a Virus
You know... the virus, I don't mind qmail-scanner-queue.pl places it quietly and calmly into the quarantine, sends me and email, and we all get on with our lives. The part that sucks is the hordes of email notices to the list about the virus from every anti-viral program on the list.

Exception-lists to MAPS-RBL-Filtering?
Our use of MAPS-RBL filtering on our Qmail servers has been in place for over a year with very few complaints about inaccessibility. Lately a couple of intended correspondents have been ruled out by the system. Very definitely the "filtered outs" ought to take steps to get off the RBL lists for their own good. With that said, however, is it possible to readily build exception- lists that allow e-mail correspondence with contacts on the RBL database? Jerry R.

Ideally, I'd like them to be handled by the default ~alias/.qmail-xxx aliases on the system.

Re: AntiVirus!
Like Felix I'm skeptical about the value of general anti-virii programs running as gatekeepers on Linux servers. However, I have found AMaViS (A Mail Virus Scanner; http://amavis.org ) very useful for filtering out e-mail viruses, a very annoying and prominant subgroup of viruses. AMaVis works with qmail but requires a separate anti-virus scan engine to work in conjunction with it. It supports a number of such scan engines. For example, I use McAfee's VShield 4.x scan engine under a corporate license. My enterprise also uses PC-based and Novell-server based anti- virus software but these have the disadvantage of needing to be properly configured, and the weakest link in this kind of distributed defense would be the handful of PCs or servers that had a misconfiguration. With AMaViS at the pass, there's the ability to passively run e-mail virus filters as every single e-mail comes in. If you decide to use this or a similar approach, you need to make sure that a cron job runs to periodically update the ant-virus .dat files from your scan engine's website. Otherwise your database of antiviral signatures gets obsolete. //jrkeene Thus spake Visar Emini ([EMAIL PROTECTED]): I have qmail vpopmail running on Linux machine and I was thinking on installing an antivirus on my mailserver, does anyone have any suggestions about this issue?!

The test that failed was #6, which tests an email sent from :[EMAIL PROTECTED] to : [EMAIL PROTECTED] While qmail accepts initially any mail destined for (in your case) oceania.net, the email will fail to be sent when qmail finds out that there's no user by the name "jlynde%diligence.com" at your domain. If there was, I would have gotten the mail in my mailbox, which I didn't. Check your logs, and you will see the activity from the test in there, and you will also get the double-bounce, signifying the failure of the email. In other words, relax... you're not relaying... have a refreshing drink and breathe deeply cuz it's all good. Jer

RE: Black hole for messages: Newbie says Charles not that rude?
Guys: I'm new to the list and like most newcomers to technical mailing lists I join with the hope of getting some good technical tips for free. Nothing wrong with this as even the most wizardly and guruish of us have probably "been there, done that"? But that said, I'm always sensitive to the fact that however urgent my need for help might be, I'm a stranger importuning what might be a closenet (excuse the pun (:) group with questions that are likely more annoying than intellectually challenging. So sensitive soul that I am (:, my personal policy for politeness on new lists is to send an e-mail query, making it as detailed as my ignorance allows, and making it as polite in tone as possible. If I don't get an answer, I don't send out "Hey, I'm annoyed that I didn't get an answer" type messages; instead I wait and read the list, and hope for a gradual accretion of knowledge. I've deliberately avoided asking for ccs in my own queries because the thought of asking made me uncomfortable. Frequently though, folks that answered my questions did indeed send those thoughtful ccs. I'm very aware that on a new list I have no entitlements and that nothing is owed me except what's owed to strangers generally in civilized societies (like listservers). I'm somewhat in the position, then, of the user that Charles gently chastized. From that perspective, I don't really believe Charles was "rude". It's somewhat annoying, even for the most helpfully inclined souls, to be asked for things by strangers who don't ask in the spirit of beholdedness. I don't believe the user was all that rude either; just normally preoccupied by a pressing problem (I've definitely been there) and a little out of perspective with regard to others. Sorry to be long winded. Hope the above makes sense. //jrkeene It's urgent.. :/ please cc me privatly, so that I dont lose it in the list... Not cc'd.

Dave: Thanks for the heads up on qmail's upper case user "gotcha". I stopped getting the "no mailbox here by that name" msgs when I adhered to lower case users. Still no success however, but logs did shed a bit of light. Delivery errors for my tests have changed from "no mailbox here by that name" to "delvery deferred:_dot-forward:_command_not_found". Is the "dot-forward" a package that I've failed to install, or is my config in need of a tweak?" Hopefully I'm getting closer? //jrkeene [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: For example, I've defined a user, Jim.Morley.

qmail-pop3d problem: No mail delivery to Maildirs
Hello All: I'm trying to set up qmail-pop3d to pick up mail from the Maildir directories of users that I've defined on the local qmail host. For example, I've defined a user, Jim.Morley. When I send test msgs to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]", the Qmail Mailer- Daemon returns "Sorry, no mailbox here by that name." I know that the chkpassword function of qmail-pop3d is working because I can authenticate and check the always empty contents of /home/Jim.Morley/Maildir. The test msgs never make their way to /home/Jim.Morley/Maildir. I have religiously perused available documentation but have foolishly missed some important element or two. The pop3d log msgs don't help much. They indicate lots of pop3d activity but don't tell me why test msgs never make it to Maildirs of my test users. Do the test users need to be defined under /control/users/assign in order to have this work? None of them are listed there, but the FAQ I used for setting up pop3d didn't mention this?
