http://www.shupp.org Includes these popular patches: * smtp auth * spf * qmail-queue (to allow for virus scanners) * maildir++ patch * support oversize dns packets (not necessary if you use dnscache) * chkuser (check for local vpopmail users, envelope syntax. requires vpopmail to be previously installed) * spam throttle * qregex (regular expression matching in badmailfrom and badmailto) * big concurrency (set the spawn limit above 255) On Thu, 2005-04-07 at 14:29 -0800, Michael Irey wrote: > I have Qmail + Vpopmail + Qmail Scanner + SpamAssassin + ClamAV installed and > all is functioning. > > However my qmail queue is filled with hundreds of double bounced messages.
