Re: [vchkpw] dot qmail processing
It's in the qmail docs. man dot-qmail It isn't in there explicitly, but it says that lines starting with # are ignored, and that qmail-local will only process .qmail files that aren't empty. Is this how qmailadmin creates a blackhole e-mail address?

Breached# cat .qmail |/usr/bin/true delete Breached# pwd /usr/storage/mail/x-istence.com/blackhole/ Yes, you can blackhole a POP/IMAP account. Note that we had to do it this way, as older versions of vdelivermail couldn't handle comments in .qmail files. I'm updating user.c in qmailadmin 1.2.x to use # delete instead. We keep the delete in there, as that's what qmailadmin uses later to determine that it's a blackhole (code that should be updated as well). Note that in the unreleased 1.2.2, I've added an undocumented feature to the create new forward page. If you enter # as the forwarding address, it will create a blackhole alias. I'll try to get 1.2.2 out soon... -- Tom Collins - [EMAIL PROTECTED] QmailAdmin: http://qmailadmin.sf.net/ Vpopmail: http://vpopmail.sf.net/ Info on the Sniffter hand-held Network Tester: http://sniffter.com/

[vchkpw] dot qmail processing
Hi, I have a question in regards to .qmail file processing. I am trying to setup a simple filtering to move spammed message to another folder using .qmail files. Basically something like that: | condredirect [EMAIL PROTECTED] grep 'Subject: [SPAM]' ./name/Maildir/ For simple address like [EMAIL PROTECTED], creating a .qmail-name in the domain directory works, but for more complex address [EMAIL PROTECTED] .qmail-first.lastname doesn't seem to be processed. Is the syntax of a .qmail file different if there is a . in the address name? Also why do I have to specify the full path for Maildir. In the doc it seems that I should have only to specify ./Maildir/. But doing so doesn't work I am using vpopmail 5.4 TIA Pascal

Re: [vchkpw] dot qmail processing
Thanks that did it. Another question. How can I drop a message? (kind of like contredirect /dev/null) Thanks again Pascal On Wed, 2004-06-09 at 07:18, Ken Jones wrote: On Wednesday 09 June 2004 7:53 am, Pascal DeMilly wrote: Hi, I have a question in regards to .qmail file processing.

But what if I want to drop some mail based on the criteria but accept other for a particular address. On Wed, 2004-06-09 at 14:59, Rick Widmer wrote: Pascal DeMilly wrote: Thanks that did it.

You might want to look around on the net for the answer to that one. Basicly, you will need to send the email through a program that will make that decision and return the proper exit codes Ken Jones
