Probably the easiest thing to do is to check for a content-type of multipart/.* . This would be good at stopping things that might get executed by MUAs. It won't stop large messages that may have encoded binaries included as text. On Sat, Jan 09, 1999 at 12:04:07PM +0100, Sigi <[EMAIL PROTECTED

Wrong answers, I have lots of those ;-) The reason I install rpms instead of source is because I use RedHat and in the past since I'm new to Linux I have had problems understanding what the source really wants me to. I have many years of experience with OS's and networks but after working with

Re: selective relaying

Look, you have to selectively filter port 25. You are NOT blocking it. You are asking for help and yet you say you will NOT use any of the methods that the rest of the people on the list use and know work. Either use one of the proven methods or go away! Sorry to be blunt but this problem has a

There's an example in the FAQ that states I can use tcp wrappers. I don't know where I'm mistaken: /etc/hosts.allow tcp-env: 193.230.247.73, 192.168.221.0/255.255.255.0: export RELAYCLIENT="" /etc/hosts.deny ALL:ALL man 5 hosts_access *snip* daemon_list : client_list [ : shell_command ] *snip*

Re: install problem

You have to remove sendmail b/c there are files in the qmail rpm which conflict with files in the sendmail package. If you want, you can save your /etc/aliases, but unfortunately, the sendmail executable in /usr/sbin would be overwritten by the qmail rpm if you use the --nodeps option to install.

Re: install problem

You missed the step in the README which says: stop sendmail, and remove the sendmail rpm. (I am talking about the readme in the ftp dir where you got the qmail rpm from). On Sat, Jan 09, 1999 at 12:50:12PM -0500, bob wrote: > --force command results in same error message. > > Bob > > Mark Luntz
