[vchkpw] Bounce Messages with Certain Attachments
I would like to setup qmail to bounce messages with *.vbs, *.scr and a few other attachments. If a message gets sent to a user on my system with an attachment like that, I want to bounce it back to the sender letting them know it was undeliverable because of the attachment. Is this possible? If so, how? Thanks, Chris Miller Compuville www.compuville.net
[vchkpw] qmailadmin question
When I setup a user in qmailadmin and check the Spam detection? box, it adds |preline /usr/local/bin/maildrop /etc/mailfilter to their ~/.qmail. This is great, except I need it to be something different. Where do I set what the Spam detection box adds to a users .qmail file? Thanks, Chris Miller Compuville www.compuville.net
RE: [vchkpw] Problem
When you say freezeing, what exactly do you mean? Thanks, Chris Miller Compuville www.compuville.net -Original Message- From: Simon [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, May 13, 2004 2:29 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [vchkpw] Problem Hopefully someone can help me with this. I am running Red Hat Linux 9.0, qmail, courier-imap-2.2.1, and vpopmail-5.2.1. For the past six months everything has been running smoothly almost no problems whatsoever. I have about 20 different domains using vpopmail. Recently, the mail has been freezing. Starting and stopping qmail seems to clear the problem up. I don't know if this is a vpopmail issue or a qmail issue. I've checked the que and everything has been processed. One of the domains did have a catch all account which they stopped using. Any suggestions would be appreciated. Simon
[vchkpw] SMTP Slowness
Now Ive got another problem with SMTP. When I try to connect, it takes FOREVER to send the welcome message. Go ahead and telnet into rhost1.zfx.com on port 25 and issue a HELO, and youll see what I mean. Just give it a few minutes before you do anything and youll see. After the initial wait, things are fine, but that first part takes forever. I thought that it could be something with DNS, but everything seems fine with DNS. The hostname and reverse DNS entries for the box are in there, and the DNS servers on the server are set correctly so it should be able to resolve its self pretty quickly (the DNS server it uses is on the local box, as is the zone for the domain). Any idea?? Thanks, Chris Miller Compuville www.compuville.net

RE: [vchkpw] Have I screwed myself?
Alright, thanks. Does anyone else know how I can migrate from what Ive got now to vpopmail? Also, hows this going to work with any SMTP AUTH patch?

Yes if you use vpopmail + the chkusr patch, you can prevent those messages from ever reaching the queue of your mail server. Im not familiair with a qmail + Checkpassword with the MySQL patch setup, so you may need to recompile qmail to get it all working nicely. See a few of the howto documents like http://www.pipeline.com.au/staff/mbowe/isp/webmail-server.htmor http://www.shupp.org just to name 2 of the many howto's that are out there.

My current setup is qmail + Checkpassword with the MySQL patch (from http://iain.cx/qmail/mysql/). It works great, but there is a major flaw with it.
