Re: [vchkpw] accept selected mails
* Jonas Pasche [EMAIL PROTECTED] [2003-03-15 07:35]: Hi Payal, I am using vpopmail + qmail on a test system. Now for user [EMAIL PROTECTED] I want to accept mails only from email addresses given in file accept_only.dat. The rest of the mails from any other email address should be dropped/deleted without any notice. Can someone please give on hints on writing such a script? man dot-qmail man qmail-command Should be a simple two-liner .qmail file; the first line with an |if expression that checks $SENDER against your file and exits with an appropriate exit code, and a forward rule to a defined Maildir in the second line. Thanks for the reply. Yes, I know about .qmail files but the problem how to *drop* unwanted mails. I can check the mails against a sample.txt file and if match is found redirect it to ./Maildir/. But how to drop the mails otherwise? Also should i just check the From: field or is there anything else I should check for (against the database, maybe using egrep) Warm regards, -Payal -- Visit GNU/Linux Success Stories www.geocities.com/rpayal99 Guest-Book Section Updated.
[vchkpw] virtual domain problem
Title: Message Hi! I'm having the following problem: -default domain is virt1.domain1.com (which is also the hostname of the mail server) -another virtual domain virt2.domain1.com -another virtual domain domain2.com Everything works fine for virt1.domain1.com and domain2.com, but when i try to send an email for [EMAIL PROTECTED], the qmail log says: new msg 1256690info msg 1256690: bytes 528 from [EMAIL PROTECTED] qp 7024 uid 506starting delivery 1: msg 1256690 to local [EMAIL PROTECTED] status: local 1/10 remote 0/20delivery 1: failure: Sorry,_no_mailbox_here_by_that_name._vpopmail_(#5.1.1)/status: local 0/10 remote 0/20bounce msg 1256690 qp 7028end msg 1256690 Although I was sending this messege to [EMAIL PROTECTED], the log shows thatvpopmail is not looking for the correct domain (it should be [EMAIL PROTECTED]). DNS is correctly configured (i think): virt2.domain1.com points to CNAME virt1.domain1.com. Qmail files: /var/qmail/control/rcpthosts has: virt1.domain1.com virt2.domain1.com domain2.com /var/qmail/control/virtualdomains has: virt1.domain1.com:virt1.domain1.com virt2.domain1.com:virt2.domain1.com domain2.com:domain2.com IMAPauthentication (through MySQL) works fine and so does sending mails from [EMAIL PROTECTED]. The problem is that I cannot receive mails for the virt2.domain1.com domain. Any idea would be appreciated. Arthur
Re: [vchkpw] NFS shared
Sharing the tcp.smtp.cdb file over TCP is not a good idea. Once your traffic starts picking up, you'll have all sorts of problems with that. Check out the writeup I have on exactly this scenario: http://matt.simerson.net/computing/mail/qmail/qmail.toaster.open- smtp_writeup.txt. There are other considerations but to minimize traffic on your backend (NFS) network, you really should be planning to only share what's necessary (~vpopmail/domains) via NFS.

I can check the mails against a sample.txt file and if match is found redirect it to ./Maildir/. But how to drop the mails otherwise? You can use the `validate-sender` program from my qblue package to accomplish this. If you want to deliver to a regular Maildir you could use the following: |if except validate-sender ~/Maildir/valid.dat; then maildir ./Maildir/ ; fi The `maildir` script is part of the safecat package. I am running vpopmail 5.3.9 with --enable-make-seekable=y and the following also works for me: |if except validate-sender /var/vpopmail/domains/standblue.com/valid.dat; then /var/vpopmail/bin/vdelivermail '' /var/vpopmail/domains/standblue.com/cwright/ ; fi These examples deliver the message if the sender address is listed in the valid.dat file, and drop it otherwise. The validate-sender program relies on $SENDER, which can easily be forged, so this should only be used to do trivial checks. You can find qblue at the following URL: http://projects.standblue.net/software/qblue/index.moto Good luck, Cory -- Cory Wright Stand Blue Technology http://www.standblue.net/

I think the tcp.smtp.cdb also needs to be shared. Any others files? How about sharing ezmlm email list files and aliases which live under ~alias? (/var/qmail/alias)? If I have a load-balanced cluster, I want any machine to handle a delivery for any email list. Mostly this would be reading addresses from the subdirs, but doesn't ezmlm also do list cleaning, removing bouncing/dead addrs from the list subscribers? If I put ~alias on NFS, will multiple boxes doing ezmlm list cleaning cause corruption? If so, any suggestions -- maybe having the bounce address go to only one of the smtp replicants so it alone will do the cleaning? Others? Thanks.
[vchkpw] Forwarding....
Ok, Well I have the system working I even have the catch all working. So what I would like to know is about setting a forwarder for a particular user of a domain. There does not seem to be a reference in the documentation; however, I could be blind and stupid. the .qmail-default file seems to alude to this via the empty set, ie: | /home/vpopmail/bin/vdelivermail '' delete syntax in as much as the following works... | /home/vpopmail/bin/vdelivermail '' [EMAIL PROTECTED] will forward e-mail for non existant users to the named account, is then | /home/vpopmail/bin/vdelivermail [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] The correct syntax to forward ??? Thanks in advance.
Re: [vchkpw] Forwarding....
I have forwards setup like the following: make a .qmail-USER file in the directory of the domain (replace USER with the username) in the file type [EMAIL PROTECTED] (without the quotes) example of a forward from [EMAIL PROTECTED] to [EMAIL PROTECTED] : [EMAIL PROTECTED] closer]# cat /usr/vpopmail/domains/neg9.netnitco.net/.qmail-root [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] closer]# Hope that helps, Scott - Original Message - From: Bill Sappington [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Saturday, March 15, 2003 5:39 PM Subject: [vchkpw] Forwarding Ok, Well I have the system working I even have the catch all working.

Re: [vchkpw] quotas
You need vpopmail-5.3.19 for domain quotas. It may be found at http://shupp.org Brian On Sat, 15 Mar 2003, Payal Rathod wrote: Hi, I have installed vpopmail-5.2.1 with just enable-roaming-users=y option. After that I did make and make install. Now I added 2 domains test1 and test2? Do these domains have a default quota? If no, how do I add that? If I am going to use ./configure again what care must I take? Do i use make install clean or something like that? Also can I have domain test1 with say 40Mb quota and domain test2 with 70Mb quota? How to achieve that? I read README.quotas, INSTALL and FAQ but still I am unable to figure a proper solution for different quotas for different domains. Can someone tell?
