[vchkpw] User defined black lists
Hi all Is therea technology with wich to allow users to create their own lists of senders they don't want to get mail from. The perfect behaviour of the server would be after it gets the mail from: and rcpt to: to check in a databse and reject the mail defore it arrives, if the rcpt and sender mach a user-defined pair. Or do I have to write this whole thing from scratch... Thanks, Anton
Re: [vchkpw] User defined black lists
Take a look at TMDA (tagged message delivery agent). It does what you want, and a lot more. And it integrates very well with vpopmail/qmail www.tmda.net At 13:31 1/6/2003 +0200, you wrote: Is there a technology with wich to allow users to create their own lists of senders they don't want to get mail from.

RE: [vchkpw] User defined black lists
Hi agin. It seems that the server gets the message and then TMDA decides weather to deliver it. I am more interested in a solution, where the server rejects the mail right after it gets the from: and to: lines, if the combination is banned. ...or am I wrong?

RE: [vchkpw] User defined black lists
I could be wrong - but I believe you want to accept/deny based on the Return-Path header, which would require that the whole email be transmitted. I think tmda is a better solution anyways, as it is an intelligent system (i.e. auto-blacklisting based on rules), can filter on headers or on message content, has a whitelist system and can re-write outgoing message headers to provide one-time message reply acceptance... yadda yadda.

RE: [vchkpw] Hi all, problems with SPAM and Virus
Hare, Another one to check out is BlackHole (http://the.groovy.org/blackhole.shtml). I have done several fixes to make this work with vpopmail 5.2.1 (shame on you inter7 guys for treating a exit status 99 as a deferal... Bad programmer... no Jolt for you). BlackHole works great... and has many features including moving spam and viruii to an IMAP folder rather than the normal inbox to prevent POP3 download (a big plus in an ISP enviroment). Blacklist, whitelists, advanced dns filtering... and so on. All that and opensource too... it even can use an opensource virus scanner (clamscan, which is just a cool name for a virus program anyways... ;) Check it out, if you run into any trouble getting it to work with vpopmail, drop a line to the Blackhole mailing list... I am on both (vchkpw and blackhole)...

[vchkpw] POP before SMTP
Is there any way to get vpopmail to stamp the E-Mail address of the person who popped into the server on any outgoing messages?

[vchkpw] Vpopmail 5.2.0 -- 5.2.1
Hi there, We're going to be upgrading a few mail servers from 5.2.0 to 5.2.1 and just wanted to check if there were any gotchas we should watch out for? Been a while since I've played around with vpopmail (almost a year) and just wanted to make sure before I trash everything. I still have my original configure options saved. Can I just use those same configure options? and then a 'make' and 'make install'? I'm assuming I need to stop qmail before doing the 'make install'? Thanks Malcolm

[vchkpw] TMDA or somthing like it
Hi, Is there any compatible filtering extension like TMDA or spamassassin that works with Vpopmail? I tried setting up TMDA-0.67 with Vpopmail-5.3.12, but to no avail. There is a TMDA+Vpopmail HOWTO located at http://www.visca.com/tmda/tmda_vpop.html but this is out of date and looks to be incomplete.

Well I know TMDA works with the vpopmail 5.2 series. Not sure what's changed in the 5.3 that would prevent it from working.

Re: [vchkpw] TMDA or somthing like it
BTW there is a security hole in the script for qadmin-tmda. Moreover, you cannot use it with the later version only with the version that was design for. I have modified it to work with newer version until I found the hole, then I stop using it. You can use tmda-cgi now, which I have not used yet but seems really good.
