As I reconized that his need probably will also be desired for a lot of other companies, I think it's worth to discuss here which would be the most appropriate manner to achieve this feature with Qmail and Vpopmail. THE IDEAL SCENE: The ideal scene for me would be if vpopmail could provide a means for doing this. To set the internal-only account I'd like to end up going to Qmailadmin, editing the properties of some user account, and just checking the new check-box: ( ) Internal-only account; I have no idea of how this could be implemented by vpopmail. Can someone out there imagine something? IDEAS: Until now, the only thing that occurs to me in order to accomplish this, is to edit (manually) the famous /var/vpopmail/tcp.smtp file and laboriously add a bunch of IP addresses, of each internal-only user, unsetting the RELAYCLIENT variable for each one of them. This would prevent the users from sending e-mails to external domains. But they could receive external e-mails (althouth they would not be able answer the e-mails). Or, suddenly, I could set the IPs of all internal-only user's machines inside a specified IP range, and I would disable RELAYCLIENT just for this range. I should explain this change to my customer, and they should follow the IP range specification. Still, I would be relying on tcp.smtp file to accomplish this. Further ideas?

Re: [vchkpw] How I can deny smtp request from a known IP address
if it is a massive spam, better filter it out with packet filter - iptables, ipchains pf etc, it depends from the OS you're using. the fastest possible (the command is under linux) way to effective block is with route route add -host 1.1.1.1 gw 127.0.0.1 the line in tcp.smtp (and rebuild with qmailctl cdb) also works, but is not as effective as packet filtering - if your server is having a considerable load just to deny the conenctions. i've been in such trouble - there are guys which are trying to send to womehting like a wordlist of names, one connection per [EMAIL PROTECTED], and the server was about 3 times heavier load than usual - the guy(gal? gay?) was quite fast. wwell edi Bernd wrote: Ok, this might be even faster ;-) Greets, Bernd On Wed, 2005-04-13 at 15:13 +0300, Stoyan Marinov wrote: Add a line like ip:deny in your tcp.smtp file and rebuild it.

UID/GID values are compiled into vpopmail. You have to re-compile
everything that depends on them when they change. By everything I
mean after you compile vpopmail you have to do qmailadmin and anything
else that uses it.
You also have to change the uid/gid in /var/qmail/users/assign.
Do whatever you can to ensure that the uid/gid for vpopmail:vchkpw does
not change when moving to a new server. It will make your life a lot

Bob,
In your OLD install you used to have UX and GX for uid and gid.
For your NEW install you have UY and GY for uid and gid, right?
i've been in this trouble, so:
so,the best way: you must change the file ownerships to UY and GY, the
assing file
if you copied the files from OLD to NEW, they still have the uid and
gids from the original, check if on the NEW when you ls -la you see the
proper uid/gid
to change the ownership: if on NEW you don't have a user with UX and/or
GX (the uids from the old) you can execute someting like
find / -uid UX -exec chown UY \{\} \;
for the uid
and
find / -gid GX -exec chown GY \{\} \;
you can substitute / with some directory to limit che change, but, if
you do not use UX and GX on your NEW machine, it is better to sit and
wait for find to change everything starting from /
these commands will find any file with the old uid and old gid and
change them to the new values.
if you use sqwebmail, and have troubles logging in only in sqwebmail,
check for sqwebmail cache files, and if needed, remove them.
