Hi list, I found a patch [1] at [2] which enables qmail to first check against vpopmail if the user (email-address) is existant before accepting mail for it. Yesterday I asked in #qmail (IRC-channel) for any experiences and/or recommendations with this patch and have been told by Jeremy Kitchen that this patch is "UGLY" and "HORRIBLE" and has glibc-stuff in it. As he seems to have a "little bit" more experience than me, I trust him. :-) Anyway, I am still looking for a solution for this problem, maybe a solution which also checks if catch-all is activated for this domain. Right now we make the experience that a lot of spam and virus-mails are coming in and make the queue growing up enormously. I hope on the new systems, it will not be that bad by applying the "ext-todo" patch against the silly-qmail-syndrome, but I want these machines making be a little bit more secure. Because of the fact, that this solution would be a patch or anything else against vpopmail (maybe activating this functionality in qmail-smtp), I didn't ask in the qmail-list and hope this is the right place...
