Hello,
We are having problems with getting repeated offensive mails from a
specific email address. Is there any good way to get courier-mta to
simply reject/not-deliver mails from a list of email addresses?
The email is coming from domains/IP#'s that we can't just block in mass

P.S. Please CC me directly on any responses as I take the mailing list in

Would upgrading to .37.3-2.3 fix this problem?
Does .37 support accepting badly formatted broken messages from hotmail,
asian mail servers, exchange, ect? (i.e does it have the BOFH option to
turn accepting them on)?
Thanks in advance!!

Hello All,
I seem to have 2 problems.
If anyone would be kind enought to advise I would be very appreciative.
First, I'm having trouble getting pine to do esmtp authentication for
roaming users. I'm configuring smtp-server in pine as:
emailserver.my.domain/ssl/user=ehle/novalidate-cert also
Thanks Sam!

Does Courier use port 113 for auth?
Thanks!

I have to agree with Chris on this. This was several year ago, but you

how to install a ethernet card. Hopefully this has changed but at one

Hello all!
I'm having a VERY odd problem. I finally trained my users to not use
bad passwords, and they are using them. Now I get this. I'm using 2
different Webmail Clients, postaci and squirrelmail. (both are PHP based
IMAP clients, well Postaci actually uses POP and pretends its IMAP via a
package in woody) and was adding a slash to the passwords, causing
authentication to fail. Turned it off in /etc/php/apache/php.ini and
problem went away.
Thanks again,
David.
