RE: [vchkpw] how to make sender does not receive it's own email ?
This has already been answered. There is _no_ way to achieve this without you hacking away, or paying someone else to hack away at the code to add this sort of functionality. As for the mailing list, im not sure if there is a echo off type function that the customer can use to not receive their own posts back from the server.

Hi list, I'm running a classic setup using qmail + vpopmail + qmailadmin.

Shane Thanks, but can you at least tell me which part of the code i must modifiy to add this feature ? I know C and can try to do it. I'm sure some people could be interested in this feature.

Could you please tell me what you think of this ?

The problem with patching vdelivermail in that manner is that users won't be able to send themselves email. Also, you should be using the sender from the SMTP envelope, and not trying to parse the From: header in the email. I'm not sure how to access that address from vpopmail. I took a look at the documentation for ezmlm (which you could have done yourself if you weren't lazy) and found that ezmlm-send has the option you need. The C switch prevents posts from being set to SENDER. Rather than just copying out subscriber address files, ezmlmsend has to parse them to look for SENDER. This makes it less efficient. Also, it is useful for the SENDER to see the post to know that it has made it to the list, and its context to other subscribers, i.e. where it came within the traf fic of messages on the list. Avoiding SENDER as a recipient is useful in small lists, such as small teams with varying members, where ezmlm serves mainly as an efficient tool to keep the team connected without administrator intervention. Here the overhead of subscriber list parsing is negligible. Manually edit the .qmail-listname file (which is actually a link to listname/editor) in the site's directory. Add -C after ezmlm-send and before the first parameter (the list directory). If you have a moderated list, it will use ezmlm-gate instead. Checking the man page for ezmlm-gate tells us that you can add the -C option and it will be passed to ezmlm-send. Feel free to log into SourceForge (url in sig) and add a feature request for us to add this to qmailadmin. It will get a low priority, and probably won't be acted on unless someone sponsors its development. -- 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/

I don't think that's possible with aliases or ezmlm mailing lists.

Re: [vchkpw] how to make sender does not receive it's own email ?
I don't think that's possible with aliases or ezmlm mailing lists. Before i installed vpopmail, qmail was running using /etc/aliases and old sysadmin did something so that it worked like they want (i can't ask admin what he did) The problem is that the company which is running this server was very happy about this feature and flame me cause it does not work now :-( Maybe someone has an idea or some things i can investigate ?
