I have look at account maildir folder but none of files can be used as reference - I don't know if the vpopmail database schema contains that or not. Probably should if it doesn't. You'd need to check. The next best thing I can think of would be the date on the user's directory. The contents of that don't typically change much, unless the .qmail file is created or removed. It's no certain indication of when the account was create, but you know it's been around at least that long. -- -Eric 'shubes' - Qmailtoaster is sponsored by Vickers Consulting Group (www.vickersconsulting.com) Vickers Consulting Group offers Qmailtoaster support and installations.

[qmailtoaster] How to pass library arguments to rpmbuild?
I'm trying to build qmailtoaster on a CentOS 5.7 build, and the vpopmail-toaster build is failing. The exact command that's breaking it is: gcc -g -O2 -Wall -o vchkpw vchkpw.o md5.o hmac_md5.o libvpopmail.a -L/usr/lib64/mysql -lmysqlclient -lz -lm -lcrypt which throws lots of undefined reference errors related to 'pthread' (POSIX thread library) before dying in the linker. If I do: gcc -g -O2 -Wall -o vchkpw vchkpw.o md5.o hmac_md5.o libvpopmail.a -L/usr/lib64/mysql -lmysqlclient -lz -lm -lcrypt -lpthread -ldl the command completes without error. Is there a way that I can force "-lpthread -ldl" to be passed to 'gcc' at that point? Or can I edit the RPM spec file to add those arguments somehow? Thanks in advance for any suggestions Angus - Qmailtoaster is sponsored by Vickers Consulting Group (www.vickersconsulting.com) Vickers Consulting Group offers Qmailtoaster support and installations.

Re: [qmailtoaster] Help needed with Qmail-Toaster setup
Hey Peter, thanks for the answeres. About been permisive with spam, thats never something we do. We actually suspend and then ban the users that by using our services causes spam complaints or RBL listings (which demonstrates that the list they use is harvested). We ZERO tolerant to spam. Although the emailing usage is a growing issue. I already read the link you share, but that is only if you have multiple domains assigned to a singular and different ip to each one. This is not the case. Hopefully some one around may share a solution. Thanks a lot.

If you still want to do this and you are 100% sure that it is legit email your users are sending, here are some approaches you could try: A quick googling revealed a patch that can assign a different ip to your qmail depending on the domain where you sent the email from: http://rno-consultores.com/mail/qmail/qmail-1.03_outgoingips.patch [2] If an IP gets blacklisted you could then quickly change the mappings. This approach would be useful as you could this way also identify the domains that do get blacklisted and investigate why it happens. You need to recompile Qmail to integrate this patch and I have never used it by myself. The other approach is a simple one: AFAIK the address used by Qmail for sending email is defined in /var/qmail/control/me So You could rather easily come up with a script that randomly writes a new hostname to that file and run that script from a cron job. Not sure if Qmail restart is needed after changing the hostname.
