[vchkpw] Integration of vpopmail+maildrop+chkuser
I have setup a new mail server for my company with the following
configurations on Fedora Core 4:
1. Netqmail 1.05
2. vpopmail 5.4.10
3. maildrop 2.0.1
4. chkuser 2.0
5. Qmailadmin 1.2.9
I am using Bitdefender as antivirus and antispam solution. Everything
is working great besides a little issue which i am still unable to
resolve.
I have written a script for maildrop to move all of the spam mails in
a folder bulk, the script is in /home/vpopmail/etc/mailfilter with the
contents:
VPOP=| /home/vpopmail/bin/vdelivermail '' bounce-no-mailbox
VHOME=`/home/vpopmail/bin/vuserinfo -d [EMAIL PROTECTED]
if (/^X-BitDefender-Spam: *YES/)
{
`test -d $VHOME/Maildir/.Bulk`
if( $RETURNCODE == 1 )
{
`/usr/local/bin/maildirmake -f Bulk $VHOME/Maildir`
`/bin/echo INBOX.Bulk $VHOME/Maildir/courierimapsubscribed`
}
exception {
# to $VPOP
to $VHOME/Maildir/.Bulk/
}
exception {
to $VPOP
}
}
else
{
exception {
to $VPOP
}
}
My .qmail-default is:
| /usr/local/bin/maildrop /home/vpopmail/etc/mailfilter
The problem is when i use .qmail-default as:
| /home/vpopmail/bin/vdelivermail '' bounce-no-mailbox
it works great, chkuser performs valid recipient checking during smtp
negotiation but all spam mails also directly go in the inbox of the
user and if i enable the above mailfilter script to move spam in bulk
folder in the user inbox by changing .qmail-default as:
| /usr/local/bin/maildrop /home/vpopmail/etc/mailfilter
then chkuser stop checking the existence of valid recipients and
receives all of the mails that are intended for non-existing users.
I have searched through the archives and read the administration
manual of vpopmail but I am unable to find out what could be right
solution so that if i enable this script to move spam mails to a bulk
folder chkuser still perform the existence of valid users and reject
mail s during smtp if the user does not exist.
If anybody has any idea i would love to try and listen, please tell me
if you need any more information regarding my setup.

[vchkpw] Requeueing question
This probably is better posted to the qmail mailing list, but I can't seem to get to cr.yp.to right now and I'm not on the list at this time... Is there any (known) way to force qmail to immediately requeue a message upon delivery deferral rather than having it wait until the next send time? I just finished a qmail patch that allows a limit on the number of concurrent attempts made to any given IP address (well, any given hash - there's only so many semaphores I'm willing to create :)). This allows mail to continue processing on high-volume servers without bogging down because a remote server (e.g., AOL or YAHOO) is throttling or just too busy to accept more than 8-10 connections from a single server at once. The patch will cause that MX IP to be skipped and the next one in line to be tried - if no MX is reachable it defers the mesage. However, in that case I would like to force qmail to immediately retry the message as the deferral was on the local system rather than cause by the remote system. After looking at how qmail runs its queue, I don't think there's a way to do it, but I figured I'd throw the question out anyway. I'll be making the patch available at some point in the future once I've tested it some more...
