Hi,
Me again but with another problem this time, and I'd appreciate any help
or ideas.
Does anyone know why a hacked version of qmail v1.00 would crash with a
segmentation fault on a Linux RH 5.2, when it's running successfully on
a Solaris?
It's a local delivery to Maildir and before qmail

Hi,
how can I prevent that multiple copies of a mail addressed to several aliases

Where do I have to check for same user names in the recipients list?

A spammer is using my mail server. (I know, it shouldn't be an open relay
but I'll get back to this later).
qmail has many messages in the queue. I would like to redirect all the
messages in the queue to a Perl filter. The filter would check if it's one
of the spams. Now:
Valid mail would go
And an additional question: how to temporarily stop all non-local
deliveries? qmail still tries to send out these spam messages it has in the
queue. I would like it to stop, but continue to accept mail (which may be
an answer to this) and do the local deliveries.
Don't send back spam to spammers: their To: emails are usually wrong,
and you'd get back bounces.
The only good choice should be to stop relaying openly.
As for the present queue, you can program a perl script to open
any file in /var/qmail/queue/ recursively, and deletes any file
containing
Spam would either be removed from the queue, or (and I like this better)
sent back to the spammer (his e-mail is in the To: header). He seems to be
connected through dial-up, so there's a chance of annoying him with sending
everything back to him.
You can set up a .qmail-default in ~/alias/ but

You'd have to assemble a meta-list on the fly with only the unique

I had the same problem once before I configured qmail to be a selective relay.
What I did was, I obtained qmail-handle (available from www.qmail.org) a perl tool
with which you can manipulate the qmail queue and deleted all mails which weren't sent
by one of my local users. Can be a

Wha? Why so? Sendmail supresses dup addresses before sending. It's a

This is because sendmail is monolithic and qmail is modular(*).
Sendmail can suppress *some* duplicates by expanding lists before
sending the message. With qmail,
Don't send back spam to spammers: their To: emails are usually wrong,

In this case, the Return-Path and From look wrong (random user with letters

I've got a system wide /control/databytes limit, and can see that I can

from what i recall someone saying previously on the list, this is due to
the user setting the 'check for mail' timer too short and the MUA
resetting the pop3 connection, ie:

If your using IE5 Outlook Express you can turn on logging on the SMTP/POP3
