Hello All especially tonix ;) , well, I see discussion running here ;) but I want move little forward. just my2 cent: qmail is good example of "proof of concept" which make its own way. Bad luck is that DJB is not working on it, so this nifty features will be slowly lost as more and more patches will come, which is main point of all complaints. Its is nice that we have all the patches, but most of them are incompatible or hard to implement into others so until someone "really" Im mean "really" need them (so spending days on them), it will switch to something else, which is not good as qmail, but these days is almost everything good as qmail. If there is no progress,blind by own feeling how it is perfect , no matter that it is "best of the best" it will become soon or later overcome by others. Remember OS/2 or BeOS ? ;)
As qmail server is used as front-relay , there is problem with chkuser to check real rcpt. from discussion I see few aproaches how it can be done: - copy/mount vpopmail (not all files, just needed) to relay server and delete from virtualdomains - well, kinda ugly but working ;) problem is that If I have some offices behind firewall and even on exchange, I cant go this way - using of "validrcptto" patch - nice, but problem implement into rest of patches (bill shupp/big ISP...), when I use it, im loosing chkuser features ;) and others - so after spending weekend over google ;) I want kindly ask TONIX if he is willing to add smal feature into chkuser 2.0.8, I have idea something like CHECK_EXTERNAL_FILE = 0/1 EXTERNAL_FILE = /bla/bla/list.txt (or even cdb) in this case is much easier make list of mailboxes , for example script from David Duserre from fehcom.de can make list of all even aliases and ezmlm lists it will be really helpfull to have something like this, and as I saw code for validrcptto it should be not so much coding ;) thank you very much even if you will not do it ;) Miki (Peter Mikeska)
