Users spamming? Account gone. Problem solved. as far as limiting the amount of email a day, Nothing comes to mind Well, it's almost impossible to do, unless you require all of your users to use some sort of direct authentication method to send email. Then all you'd have to do is write a wrapper around your checkpassword replacement to count the number of times they've sent, and a cronjob to clear it out every so often. You can use the tar pit delay setting to slow down their sending of email.. which is pointless, and just slows down your users. [fixed quoting of original post] I want to use it to prevent clients to send spam. make them authenticate using smtp auth. if they are spamming, shut them off. simple. By the way, this question was not in any way related to vpopmail, it should have gone on a more appropriate list (perhaps the qmail list?) :) -Jeremy -- Jeremy Kitchen Systems Administrator [EMAIL PROTECTED] Kitchen @ #qmail on EFNet - Join the party! .

QMAILQUEUE patch is installed. Qmail vpopmail work fine without this line in /home/vpopmail/etc/tcp.smtp :allow,QMAILQUEUE=/var/qmail/bin/qmail-scanner-queue.pl But it barfs when I put it in (there's a temporary error message when you try connect via smtp) Before I go any further, is vpopmail 5.3.30 likely to fix any of what might be causing these problems?

RE: [vchkpw] Move Domains from one server to another

RE: [vchkpw] Move Domains from one server to another
Here is how I do it. First tar up the domain directory in /home/vpopmail Tar cpfvz /test.com.tgz test.com Then move the .tgz file to your new server. Add the domain in as if it were a new domain. /home.vpopmail/bin/./vadddomain test.com then I will delete the directory /home/vpopmail/test.com untar the tgz file and move the untarred test.com directory into /home/vpopmail and you should be good to go.

RE: [vchkpw] Converting Large Sites from CDB to MySQL
I partially found the problem but not the solution. It seems that the domains I cannot convert are from our first qmail toaster. Vpopmail was not compiled in with clear text passwords back then. Is there any way to convert the cdb at this point. I do not relish the though of having to get 500+ passwords and entering them in all manually. -Original Message- From: Mark Spieth [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Saturday, September 27, 2003 8:17 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [vchkpw] Converting Large Sites from CDB to MySQL I am converting an existing qmail/vpopmail site using cdb over to a new server running vpopmail 5.3.8 and MySQL. vconvert does fine for smaller sites with under 50 users, but does not work for large sites. I also tried vconvert-cdb-sql-big.pl which works fine, However it does not create the pw_clear_passwd portion of the database table and therefore the converted domain does not work. Any ideas?
