Here are a few off the top of my head. I hope the aren't repeats. Use what you would like... Q: When I make changes to the etc/bofh file do I need to makealiases or update anything? A: No. Courier scans this file each time so changes take effect immediately. Q: Can I put my spamtrap addresses in the etc/bofh file or is there a better way? A: You CAN put spamtrap addresses in etc/bofh, but you loose the advantage of hashed aliases, as this file is rescanned every time. Instead consider making a server-wide spamtrap address like [EMAIL PROTECTED] and putting THAT address in bofh. Then setup aliases either in separate aliase files for each domain or a global alias file in etc/aliases/. If you use this method don't forget to run sbin/makealiases after making changes. Q: How can tell which spamtrap addresses are triggering spamtraps on my courier server? All I see is "sapm Refused" in the logs. A: Apply a patch at http://www.laffeycomputer.com/courier_spamtrap_patch.txt (or insert url of another patch, or state version that supports this) Q: My users are complaining that messages to more than 20 recipients are being rejected; How can I fix this? A: You can set the maximum number of recipients for a single email by adding the line: maxrcpts <number> to etc/bofh. Q: Courier keep rejecting mail from domain xyz.com because it has an ip address as one of its DNS servers. I have no control over domain xyz.com, and my users need this mail! A: Add the following line with tht target ip address to your smptaccess/default and run sbin/makesmtpaccess: aaa.bbb.ccc.ddd allow,BOFHCHECKDNS=0 I hope these help. -- Joe Laffey | Want to convert subnet masks between different LAFFEY Computer Imaging | notations, or figure the number of IPs in a block?
