Re: [xmail] Trash Can
Bart, thanx for the reply. I guess the ultimate documentation is source code, but who wants to root thru that when there are 10 million other fires I need to put out.

Re: [xmail] Trash Can
Hi, If you create an e-mail address in XMailserver that has a mailprob.tab, but the mailproc.tab is empty, then this will simply /dev/null the mails sent to that address. It is important to note that the mailproc.tab should exist (but be empty). Not having a mailproc.tab will default to "mailbox".

[xmail] Trash Can
Does anybody know how to route all mail not in the white list into the permanent trash can? For example, when we send out emails for a newsletter, we want the reply to address to be: nore...@xmailserver.com in aliases.tab I have: "xmailserver.com" TAB "*" "junk...@xmailserver.com" But I do not want the XMAIL server to even store this email since it will not be picked up ever by an email client and I do not want these messages taking up disk space in some queue file or directory.
