[xmail] Possible bug and suggestion
Hi all, I don't think that XMail is still being developed and maintained. But, just in case: a user of mine sent an email to first.l...@university.ac.uk? (note the trailing question mark). XMail tried to deliver and failed for the following reason: ErrCode = -109 SMTP-Error = Unable to get UDP DNS response Since I don't think the address should have passed the syntax check, I googled a bit and found that the address is RFC5322 compliant (http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc5322#section-3.4.1) but contains domain characters that are not allowed by DNS. Section 3.4.1 says that Note: A liberal syntax for the domain portion of addr-spec is given here. However, the domain portion contains addressing information specified by and used in other protocols (e.g., [RFC1034], [RFC1035], [RFC1123], [RFC5321]). It is therefore incumbent upon implementations to conform to the syntax of addresses for the context in which they are used. So, I think in general XMail should not accept such addresses (and, more generally, the reference for syntax check should be RFC5321 more than RFC5322). Final note: this may be my last message on the list; my server will close in a few days, and that will be the end of my (very good) experience with XMail. I leave the suggestion to anybody willing to keep XMail alive. Ciao, Francesco ___ xmail mailing list xmail@xmailserver.org http://xmailserver.org/mailman/listinfo/xmail
[xmail] Feature request: counterpart to spam-address.tab (ie. a whitelist)
Hi, a counterpart to spam-address.tab would be nice, ie. a whitelist, with precedence over spam-address.tab. Then one could do such things like that: spam-address.tab: *@baddomain.com spam-address-whitelist.tab: ab...@baddomain.com Ie. reject all mails from baddomain.com except from ab...@baddomain.com (ie. in this case let replies from their abuse address pass thru; ie. the replies to our complaint mails (abuse reports) sent to them because of spam) :-) ___ xmail mailing list xmail@xmailserver.org http://xmailserver.org/mailman/listinfo/xmail
Re: [xmail] Feature request: counterpart to spam-address.tab (ie. awhitelist)
Hi, You could use SMTP.HNPROP.TAB or create a simple IN filter to acomplish this feature.

Yes, you can use a fake email b/c the trailing ? will screw things up anyway. Ciao, Francesco ___ xmail mailing list xmail@xmailserver.org http://xmailserver.org/mailman/listinfo/xmail
