Sure, your user's won't get the message, but will quotas still be enforced? If so, your users will, without warning, start having mail bounced...

You might search the list archives for this. I'd like to see a wiki page (at least) about how to do this. This would be a nice piece of software to have, syncing QMT with Exchange accounts. Anyone up for developing it? I've got a vbscript that will retrieve all email addresses from my Active Directory domain and create a bash script that will create matching accounts using vpopmail tools on a toaster and configure individual .qmail files to ensure forwarding to my Exchange server. The accounts are all created with a generic password. Nobody logs in to them. Nobody but our IT staff knows they exist. I've got no idea how to retrieve passwords in AD so they could be put into the toaster. Can vpopmail work with LDAP? Maybe the toaster could be configured to talk to AD directly? vpopmail 5.5 (in development) will support LDAP, and I plan on implementing this when it's available. I don't know when it might be available with the stock QMT though. I would like to look into the possibility of interfacing directly with AD once vpopmail 5.5 is available. I'm sure others would be interested in this as well. Does anyone here have access to an AD server that can be used for development/testing? I could setup a virtual machine for this Regards Lucian That'd be great, Lucian. Are you on the devel list? We can work on this over there when the time comes. I am, and as I said I have some crunching power at my disposal any time Regards Lucian __ Information from ESET NOD32 Antivirus, version of virus signature database 4628 (20091122) __ The message was checked by ESET NOD32 Antivirus. http://www.eset.com - Qmailtoaster is sponsored by Vickers Consulting Group (www.vickersconsulting.com) Vickers Consulting Group offers Qmailtoaster support and installations.

Re: [qmailtoaster] Re: returned mails
It could be a good idea to use ezmlm or mailman. I will examine that method.

Is there any script or method for achieving that goal. - List servers handle this sort of thing automatically.
