No need for this, since badmailfrom runs under qmail-smtpd and is re-read with each connection. Edit badmailfrom, save and your done.

Re: OT: badmailfrom
Michael, I'm here from Asheville too, so I thought I'd lend a hand. ;) You can just put the email address in badmailfrom, then hup qmail-send. It'll reject mail from just that user then. Good luck!

Re: OT: badmailfrom
Is there anyway to block just a user? The offending user is coming from att.net and I don't want to block everyone using att from sending us mail. Thanks!

Yes, I believe you just put "@domain.com" in the badmailfrom and hup qmail-send. It'll block all mail from that domain. Cheers, Bill Shupp
OT: badmailfrom
Sorry to post this here, but I did not want to have to join the busy qmail list and then quit just for this one question. And common, you guys are really great at answering questions:) I have a local user getting abusive mail from someone and I want to block them. I know with qmail you can use the "badmailfrom" file, but can you use it to block just a particular user or does it do a whole domain? I put the abusive email address in there, but I can't seem to find anything in a google search that says whether this is user based, host based, or both. Thanks again!
