RE: 39,696 emails later...
grrr i think you should consider plain text instead of html... this is boring... -Message d'origine-De : lists [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]]Envoy$B!)(Jnbsp;: Wednesday, July 11, 2001 08:31ﾀ : Qmail Mailing ListObjet : 39,696 emails later... Well, my flood of mails has stopped at 39,696. My boss and people at the office were also getting the mails at the office domain. I took the office mail server offline when they were at about 9,000 mails to prevent them from getting flooded. After I stopped getting mails at my home address, I checked the sending mail server and the zombie processes had stopped. I put the office machine back online and the zombie processes kicked in again, and the people at the office began receiving the mails again. Should I tell them to just hang in there until the total reaches 39,696? The zombie processes look like this: qmailr 26008 0.0 0.5 888 568 ??

Anyone have an oaken stake for qmail-remote? Thanks, Shawn
RE: how may i discard msgs
Thanks but it doesn't seems to work i think the problem maybe comes from the ":" character... > -Message d'origine- > De : Dave Sill [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] > Envoyé : Monday, June 18, 2001 16:54 > À : [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Objet : Re: how may i discard msgs > > > Deslions Nicolas <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > >i'm currently receiving a lot of virus generated messages > the "To:" looks > >like : " SMTP:[EMAIL PROTECTED] " > >i've tried to discard those messages using some .qmail alias > files like > >.qmail-SMTP-default , .qmail-"SMTP:[EMAIL PROTECTED]" etc > etc but none seems > >to work. > > The default "break" character is a dash (-), so none of the extension > .qmail files you're trying will work. > > >Any idea ? > > Sure, try the qmail-users facility: > > http://www.lifewithqmail.org/lwq.html#qmail-users > > A wildcard entry like: > > +smtp:alias:aliasuid:aliasgid:/var/qmail/alias::-smtp-: > > Should direct mail to "smtpanything@yourdomain" to > /var/qmail/alias/.qmail-smtp-default. > > -Dave >

how may i discard msgs
Hi i'm currently receiving a lot of virus generated messages the "To:" looks like : " SMTP:[EMAIL PROTECTED] " i've tried to discard those messages using some .qmail alias files like .qmail-SMTP-default , .qmail-"SMTP:[EMAIL PROTECTED]" etc etc but none seems to work. Any idea ? Thanks Nicolas Deslions System, network and security admin Net2one.com, France 20 rue du Sentier 75002 Paris Mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.net2one.com
