[xmail] POP box scripting hooks ?

2005-07-07 Thread Harald Schneider

Hi

a new idea came up in the XMail forum ( http://xmailforum.homelinux.net )

If we would have 2 new scripting hooks, 1 before a POP message is stored and
1 before it would be retrieved by a client we could use a few lines of code
to e.g.
- use a database backend to store all POP boxes,
- use compressed POP boxes,
- do user based content filtering in a more easy way,
- retrieve regular system account's mail on Unix based systems
- etc ...

I'm sure there are many more interesting ideas which could be realized with
this new level of flexibility. 

What do you think ?

[xmail] resumee on mailing list access

2005-07-07 Thread Martin Schmid

hi all

to clarify things, these are the current facts on restricting mailing 
list access:

If xmail handles a domain (e.g. mydomain.com) and there is an alias (e.g 
mydomain.com -> local .mydomain.com, which doesn't make much sense), 
access to the list can be restricted.
If xmail handles a domain (e.g. local.mydomain.com) and there is an 
alias (e.g mydomain.com -> local .mydomain.com), everyone has full 
access to the list.
If xmail fetches mail using psync, all mail coming in that way has full 
access to the list.

I'll need to set up an external filter that does the check against 
mluser.tab..


Regards

Martin Schmid

[xmail] what happens upon filter exit code 7?

2005-07-07 Thread Martin Schmid

Hi all

I'm just asking myself why a filter does not work as expecetd when
modifying the 5th line of the spool file and exiting with code 7.
Doesn't xmail reprocess these lines?

Regards

Martin Schmid

[xmail] Re: Distribution List

2005-07-07 Thread Kieran Westergard

Thanks for your help, I am still kind of confused to what you are referring 
to. Right now I have an open mailing list with staff members in it. What I 
want to accomplish is that when a Internet user mails [EMAIL PROTECTED] it 
delivers to all members of the open mailing list. I am unsure of what you 
are referring to when you say UseReplyTo. Are you referring to a directive 
in a configuration file? Using Outlook and Uebimiau I do not have a set 
replyto address. Thank you in advance for your assistance.

Kieran

At first I thought that was a question I should just go ahead and answer
without bothering to double check my Thunderbird configuration, because
I was certain that it isn't doing SMTP authentication.  As it turns out,
it is - at some point I actually checked the box to do so, and I have no
idea when (obviously I was sleepwalking).

That means that I either have roughly 50 users who can't send mail and
don't seem to care enough to bother letting me know, or by some small
miracle they figured out to get their email clients to do SMTP
authentication, which I have a hard time believing.  But then this week
has been full of strange suprises!

Thanks for snapping me out of yet another misconception...  I can only
assume at this point that Rob was correct in pointing out that I have to
use SMTP authentication now across the board since my SMTP and POP3 are
coming in and going out of different IP:PORT combinations.

Clarity at last... :)
