I have installed Courier 0.47 (the Debian Sarge packages) MTA with no local users and no local virtual users.
Courier accepts mail for certain domains and sends them to the recipients as defined in the aliases file. Example: The Domain my.com is in the acceptmailfor.dir/domains and the hosteddomains/domains and defaultdomain file. Mail sent to [EMAIL PROTECTED] is sent directly to [EMAIL PROTECTED] - and so on. I have configured some BOFH options (opt BOFHBADMIME=accept), but basically it is an out-of-the-box configuration with needed changes (postmaster accounts, batchsize=1, etc.). Now here are my questions: 1.) Can I use a SPAM filter and does this filter prevent mail identified as SPAM from being forwarded (according to the aliases configuration)? Is this possible via debian packages or do I have to compile a tarball? 2.) Can I block certain IPs from delivering mails to accepted domains and how do I do this? Can this be automated? 3.) Can I block certain "From" adresses and/or mails with certain "subjects" as well? I changed the file esmtpd as follows: [...] BLACKLISTS="-block=blackholes.mail-abuse.org,BLOCK -block=relays.mail-abuse.org,BLOCK" [...] ESMTPAUTH="LOGIN" [...] ESMTPAUTH_TLS="LOGIN" [...] Nevertheless I am still getting much SPAM and often from the same address - does the blacklist really work? How often is this list updated? Where is it stored/cached? Do I have to enable this? I looked through all of the man pages and the online manual and some other courier sites and could not find a solution that worked for my (rather primitive) configuration. Any help is appreciated. :) -- Greetings, Bernhard Lukas ------------------------------------------------------- SF.Net email is Sponsored by the Better Software Conference & EXPO September 19-22, 2005 * San Francisco, CA * Development Lifecycle Practices Agile & Plan-Driven Development * Managing Projects & Teams * Testing & QA Security * Process Improvement & Measurement * http://www.sqe.com/bsce5sf _______________________________________________ courier-users mailing list [email protected] Unsubscribe: https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/courier-users
