But nothing happened. > This is part of the qmail-secretary section and not qmail-group. ========== qmail-secretary: qmail-secretary is a helper program for qmail-group and ezmlm. It implements both moderation and sender confirmation. qmail-group calls qmail-secretary internally but for ezmlm the .qmail files need to be adapted. ========= qmail-secretary can be used with ezmlm or any other user that has a few .qmail files. The simple setup can be used to protect a mailbox with qmail-secretary. For ezmlm a special mode needs to be used, in that case qmail-secretary extracts some info out of the ezmlm dir -- as example this mailing list uses qmail-secretary to protect it from spammers. -- :wq Claudio
