Noel, Thanks for the quick response. I most likely will use the mailing list as the 1-to-many alias->recipients mechanism. That looks to be the least invasive way to do it.
Thanks for the ipchains suggestion. That should work fine should there not be different requirements for the users of both ports. Although, I definitely think that separate SMTP processes (possibly multiple <smtpserver> entries) should be permitted, so they can be configured independently if need be. Seems like virtual domains should some how be intertwined with this concept. Although it looks like the current schema of the configuration file might need some refactoring to accommodate that. What the heck... code is never done unless its been refactored at least three times, right? ;-) I'll dig a little deeper on the issue where all of my mail was being sent straight to the spam bucket. The root processor was doing this. I could tell this because I had uncommented the lines in the config.xml which informs the sender that their message was filtered out. The interesting thing is that the spam bounceback message _itself_ was also filtered as spam and sent straight to the spam bucket. This ended up causing an endless loop which put thousands of entries in my /var/mail/spam folder (several hundred MBs), and a few hundred processes hanging out there. I had to forcefully kill JAMES to stop the endless loop from happening. This is probably something that I should report as a defect, but I don't think I have enough information (yet) to really give enough intelligent details. I'll work on it and see what I come up with. Thanks again for the response. It was valuable. -- Rick On Sat, 2003-01-11 at 22:45, Noel J.
