Re: [vchkpw] Why does Inter7 opt Qmail?

I never installed anything big, but as a summer job I worked for 1 months in my friend's ISP where one RH ES was handling around the same load (maybe a bit less) nicely. I was the only person looking after it for that period and I never had to kill qmail-send. Maybe I had to send ALRM a couple of times, but other than that no worries at all. And the best part of qmail(/daemontools) as I always say that I can sleep peacefully knowing that qmail will be doing its work and so far for me it has. With warm regards, -Payal
[vchkpw] forwarding mails
Hi, How in the world am I suppossed to forward mails in qmail+vpopmail setup? # pwd /home/vpopmail/domains/example.net # echo [EMAIL PROTECTED] .qmail-rp This does not work. Neither this does, # echo [EMAIL PROTECTED] rp/.qmail With warm regards, -Payal

Thanks Rick and Tom for the patience shown here. If you didn't have a .qmail-rp, and you did have the vdelivermail line in .qmail-default AFTER your script, qmail-local would process the .qmail-default file, run your script first, then vdelivermail. vdelivermail would find rp/.qmail (assuming you created an rp user with vadduser) and forward the message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] Well, I have always created users with vadduser. Now, my question is what will be the contents of .qmail default if, - rp/.qmail is present - and if rp/.qmail is not present and I want to execute my script. With warm regards, -Payal

[vchkpw] many roaming users
Hi, The other day a friend showed interest in qmail server. He is running sendmail for many years and wants to shift to a better MTA (for his moderately loaded server of 3 thousand users) during hardware change. I have advised him qmail + vpopmail combo, but am scared of one thing only.

For now, give each domain a different system user (vadddomain -u ...), and give that user a quota. A question here. These users will also be having their account on the machine in /home/user and for mails I have to keep their mails on, /home/vpopmail/domains/user Any way I can use their own home directory and give them system quotas so they can think themselves how much space they want to devote to mails and how much to their programs, webpages etc. Thanks a lot and bye.

The rest of the mails from any other email address should be dropped/deleted without any notice. Can someone please give on hints on writing such a script? man dot-qmail man qmail-command Should be a simple two-liner .qmail file; the first line with an |if expression that checks $SENDER against your file and exits with an appropriate exit code, and a forward rule to a defined Maildir in the second line. Thanks for the reply. Yes, I know about .qmail files but the problem how to *drop* unwanted mails. I can check the mails against a sample.txt file and if match is found redirect it to ./Maildir/. But how to drop the mails otherwise? Also should i just check the From: field or is there anything else I should check for (against the database, maybe using egrep) Warm regards, -Payal -- Visit GNU/Linux Success Stories www.geocities.com/rpayal99 Guest-Book Section Updated.
