The other way of looking at this problem is using an alternative SMTP server (smart host?). If you use the SMTP server (ISP's one) then all e-mails are accepted and after some time
you have those e-mails which were mistyped bounced back.

I find MX check very useful which saves my time if I have a typo in the email address.
Also I would not disable Chkuser function.

By commenting #define CHKUSER_SENDER_MX the desired purpose can be achieved.
Suppose you send mail to 10 recipients and out of those 2 are not valid or
are wrong email addresses, then mail to the rest 8 recipients will be
delivered and for rest 2 email addresses you will receive message something
like example given below:

Your message did not reach some or all of the intended recipients.

       Subject: Report
       Sent:    4/6/2010 2:00 PM

The following recipient(s) cannot be reached:

       'acal...@gnvfc.net' on 4/6/2010 2:00 PM
             511 sorry, no mailbox here by that name (#5.1.1 - chkuser)

You will have to modify the CHKUSER_SENDER_FORMAT too
like this
//#define CHKUSER_RCPT_FORMAT
and for outgoing
//#define CHKUSER_SENDER_MX
//#define CHKUSER_SENDER_FORMAT

hi

sorry but your reply does not solve my problem.

people add email addresses to their address book and some times there are
errors which are bound to come up.

let us say my customer is sending to around 100 users and one of the id's
are incorrect -- the way i need to handle is either point out where the
error ie which email id is wrong, or alternatively let all the emails go
and the bad one to bounce. i don't want the customer to go thru every
single email id and try to figure out which one is wrong.

chkuser can definitely be disabled if required -- but what i need to do is
disable only mx check and that too only for a specific ip address those
emails that originate from within my server

thanks

Rajesh,

Maybe your customers should be more careful entering the address they
are sending to?  You can't make everything stupid proof.

I don't think you can disable CHKUSER nor do I think you'd want to.
This occurs not only in Squirrelmail, but in Thunderbird and other e
mail clients when the recipient is addressed incorrectly.

hi

i use squirrelmail

when customers send emails to a number of people from webmail then if
there is one address that is wrong the message that is shown is

#5.1.1 chkuser - can't find valid MX for rcpt domain

however the exact domain name where the problem exists is not shown

here i see two ways out

a) either i get the exact email id which has the problem, but i am not
sure whether squirrelmail needs to be modified or chkuser --- this would
be ideal.

b) the easy way -- disable chkuser MX checks for webmail users so that
the
bad email id bounces back after some time. could you please guide me on
how to do this ?

thanks
rajesh
