There is a patch (it required some tweaking to work on my install..) that uses a badmailpatterns file instead, and allows you to use wildcard expressions to drop by...either mail from: or rcpt to: matches. http://www.unixpimps.org/wildmat/ And for an even broader scope, if you apply the qmail-queue patch, you can stick all sorts of filters in after -smtpd to accept or reject...though without patching qmail.c I dont see any way to change the error messages that are given on blocked mail (exit(31)) http://www.qmail.org/qmailqueue-patch Dru has a python script that allows you (the latest version, thanks Dru!) to block, drop, or save off to a file based on a regular expression(requires the qmail-queue patch) http://sourceforge.net/projects/qmfilt/ I'd still like to figure out a way to use custom bounce messages ala the way bouncesaying doesanyone have any idea? thanks...david -- David Raistrick (deep in the south georgia woods) [EMAIL PROTECTED]
qmail exit codes..?
Hey folks. So, more questions. Always, eh. I've got a script that uses the qmail-queue patch that scans and logs/drops/saves/rejects mail based on content.. What I'm wondering is if there is a way I can change the "message" that is sent when various exit codes are recieved? For example, if I exit(31) I get: (reason: 554 mail server permanently rejected message (#5.3.0) If I exit anything else between 11 and 40 except 11 and 31, I get: (reason: 554 qq permanent problem (#5.3.0) man qmail-queue pretty much mentions this as well. Also, looking at qmail.c I see the full list of what does what. (its right at the bottom, easy to find.) Now, I could obviously twist on this to get it to produce a desired message...(even I with my nonexistant programming skills could probably handle it...it doesnt look like it would take much more then a line or so..) BUT, I'd rather not add more patches then I have to, so I fall on the accumulated wisdom here. Is there a way, short of a code patch, that I can change the "message" that is sent back when a certian exit code is returned? I'm not seeing anything in the scattered docs... I know that bouncesaying pretty much does this...but I dont think it would be good to use bouncesaying in the between-smtpd and -queue stages...would it? I'm finding no reference to how it pulls this off in the docs, and the code..well...its the sort that makese no sense to me. :) I googled on this for a bit and came up with nada...but I dont claim to be very good at searches...ah well. Any suggestions or pointers? thanksdavid -- David Raistrick (deep in the south georgia woods) [EMAIL PROTECTED]
genericstable equivalent?
Hey folks...
Ok, its time to try to talk qmail into doing some virtualdomains for me.
I admit its rather annoying to only have the option of doing a -prepend
instead of mapping ala sendmails virtualusertable...
But I find NO equivalent for sendmails genericstable ?!?!?! Is this true?
To clarify, the genericstable rewrites the (presumably...I've always taken
it for granted..) From: and the envelope sender as apropriate on outgoing
mail.
for example,
robert31[EMAIL PROTECTED]
mail sent from the robert31 local account would show as being
from: [EMAIL PROTECTED] for all intents and purposes.
Is there a way to do this with qmail??
