Re: How to ignore .qmail-* files for given users?
Hi John, John Chronakis wrote: Hello, I would like to prevent users with ftp access to change the delivery instructions for qmail. I don't know what system you are running your server on. But assuming you are using Linux and the ext2-fs have a look "chattr -i .qmail". man chattr tells me: A file with the `i' attribute cannot be modified: it can not be deleted or renamed, no link can be created to this file and no data can be written to the file. Only the superuser can set or clear this attribute. Maybe there is something similar on you system as well. To be more specific, I want some users not to be able to receive mail at all (they all bellong to the same group) echo "#" .qmail and others not be able to change delivery instruction by creating their own dot-qmail files via ftp (they all belong to another group). I suppose that this is controled by QMAILHOME/users/assign, but the man page is not very helpful. IMHO /var/qmail/users/assign only works for mailadresses that are nor equal to the username. Hope I could help. Ciao, Cyril

Whether or not qmail-users overrides users is a matter of fact, not a matter of opinion. In fact, qmail-users (users/assign) *does* override normal delivery to system users. This is documented in /var/qmail/doc/PIC*2local. -Dave

I don't know that this is the most efficient way, but you should be able to prevent all access to any file that starts with .qmail via your ftp daemon setup. - T -- Tyler J.

Re: How to ignore .qmail-* files for given users?
You are right. wu.ftpd can restrict actions to files or directories matching a pattern. I am going to use it for now, but I would prefer to control all mail relative stuff from within qmail. I am going to experiment with qmail/users/assign file and see what I can do.

If you're using wu-ftpd or some derivative of, you should be able to do this in the /etc/ftpaccess file. Do a 'man ftpaccess' for the correct syntax.
