Thanks to all who responded - I have qmail-smtpd-chkusr installed and seems to working as expected. Now what about address harvesting. This does become a possibility. How are people dealing with this? Abdul > > Thanks, > > Abdul -- Tel: +27-31-566-8080 Fax: +27-31-566-8010 http://www.eastcoast.co.za
Re: [vchkpw] qmail-smtpd patch
Abdul, the patch you're looking for is at: www.interazioni.it/qmail It's been deeply proved and installed by hundreds of people. There are two versions: one completely compliant to qmail security model, the other semplified in order to work with TLS.

Re: [vchkpw] qmail-smtpd patch
Check the archives. There are a few, however they *only* take into account the vpopmail addresses, not system accounts or aliases or SMTP relaying. I've just patched mine to handle all cases however I don't have a patch. BTW, VRFY would be the correct place for this, however most spam programs ignore the return on the VRFY command and send it anyway. So in short, you'll have to write your own custom one to your situation. At least with the patch, I don't have 10,000 messages in the outbound queue each day for bounces. Now I rarely get bounces.

Why do you think VRFY is _not_ supported by qmail?:) Is that what you really want? naah.. IMHO: Theres no way the smtpd would know if the user exists or not. that's qmail-send's job, the qmail-smtpd recives the connection, checks relaying, rcpthosts and so on.. if it likes it - fine, the message is sent to qmail-send which decides what to do with it.. local delivery, remote one.. whatever. > Thanks, > > Abdul Welcome :) > -- > Tel: +27-31-566-8080 > Fax: +27-31-566-8010 > http://www.eastcoast.co.za > > > -- Kiril Todorov < -+- > +359 2 9712013 Bulgaria Online < -+- > http://home.online.bg /* waiting... dreaming... wishing... */

Hi, Is anyone aware of a patch for qmail-smtpd that will return a 5xx code if the rcpt to is a non-existent address/alias on a vpopmail system? Thanks, Abdul -- Tel: +27-31-566-8080 Fax: +27-31-566-8010 http://www.eastcoast.co.za
