Friends,I have a blckberry user who has the complaint of5.1.0 - Unknown address error 571-'sorry, sender address has invalid format (#5.7.1 - chkuser)'I find this in the wikiI got tired of adding a new Blackberry server every couple days so I just disabled the check for all incoming mail: :allow,BADMIMETYPE="",SENDER_NOCHECK="1",BADLOADERTYPE="M",CHKUSER_RCPTLIMIT="50",CHKUSER_WRONGRCPTLIMIT="10",QMAILQUEUE="/var/qmail/bin/simscan" my Q is this : 1.Is it generally agreed that "disabling the check for all incoming mail"is a good solution? best solution?2. are there any - risks downsides? 3. ( most importantly )if I wish to disabled the check for all incoming mail:allow,BADMIMETYPE="",SENDER_NOCHECK="1",BADLOADERTYPE="M",CHKUSER_RCPTLIMIT="50",CHKUSER_WRONGRCPTLIMIT="10",QMAILQUEUE="/var/qmail/bin/simscan" exactly how do I do that?meaning do i just open a terminal as root and enter:allow,BADMIMETYPE="",SENDER_NOCHECK="1",BADLOADERTYPE="M",CHKUSER_RCPTLIMIT="50",CHKUSER_WRONGRCPTLIMIT="10",QMAILQUEUE="/var/qmail/bin/simscan" and hit enter ... or do i write that to a config somewhere?and for what it is worth ... I have several blackberry users , only 1 has had this problem ( same lady ) and it comes and goes ... well it's back now...( and she is a dream to deal with :)
Didn't I answer this one for you a while back?Enter the :allow line in your /etc/tcprules.d/tcp.smtp file, and then run 'qmailctl cdb'. In theory there can be security risks by allowing /'s and other characters, but in practice I have not been able to exploit them. Doesn't mean it can't be done though.
And don't feel alone. It's only the REAL complainers that get this problem!
