Hello,
We are having problems with getting repeated offensive mails from a
specific email address. Is there any good way to get courier-mta to
simply reject/not-deliver mails from a list of email addresses?
The email is coming from domains/IP#'s that we can't just block in mass
(hotmail and an u
version.
Thanks in advance!
P.S. Please CC me directly on any responses as I take the mailing list in
digest format.

Is there an easy way to bounce or otherwise redirect the mail?
something like
to | mail [EMAIL PROTECTED]
but I'm just not sure.
Thanks for any suggestions! Just trying to avoid re-inventing the wheel.

that could account for this problem?
Would upgrading to .37.3-2.3 fix this problem?
Does .37 support accepting badly formatted "broken" messages from hotmail,
asian mail servers, exchange, ect? (i.e does it have the BOFH option to
turn accepting them on)?
Thanks in advance!!

If anyone would be kind enought to advise I would be very appreciative.

roaming users. I'm configuring smtp-server in pine as:

I created a Maildir and subfolders under /etc/skel/ where all the default

I have to agree with Chris on this. This was several year ago, but you
could get a CS degree from a major state school in Indiana without knowing
how to install a ethernet card. Hopefully this has changed but at one

I am also using XFS and while it isn't zippy moving thousands of messages,
it will work. I think I've been up to 9000+ messages but I don't know if
I've ever passed 10,000. Even with XFS manipulating such large directories
can be tedious. Lots of file hanlding tools just throw up their hands an
dselect?
If you are running stable, try moving up to sarge or if you very daring,
sid (unstable).
The debian packages tend to run a bit behind the most recent release, but
are usually pretty "safe" in that they are stable and mostly bug free. If
you want to change anything like the badly format

Thanks for the quick reply and for clearing that up for me.

Sam,
If the maildirs can not be backed up and restored, how does one insure
against lost mail in case of drive failure? I am currently using rsync to
back up my maildirs. I have restored from the backup copy and while it was

I'm afraid I don't have an answer for your question, But if you do get
one could you please pass it on? I'm having a similar situation and would
love to know how to transform one cert type to another.

Yes, you can turn it off... and many people do. This issue has come up
a number of times on the list. Search the mail archive for things like
malformed header and RFC821 and you will find several solutions. Sam

better with less while I was writing this ;)
