So I thought I give it a try here. I think most subscribers here use qmail and rblsmptd as well.

Yes, I thought of different MX records as well but this would necessitate running qmail on a separate server since I cannot run 2 instances of qmail-smtpd on the same port (25) on the same server even if each is using a different virtual IP. At least I don't think I can. > > Hope this helps, and please, in the future, try to post > questions to the proper mailing lists, as that is why they exist :) > Thanks for trying.

This question has nothing to do with vpopmail. Instead, it should go either on the qmail mailing list, or the ucspi-tcp mailing list (since rblsmtpd is part of the ucspi-tcp package, but most commonly used in conjuction with qmail, so either would probably yield proper results), but I will answer your qestion anyways. > Say, hostation.com is a virtualhost on my system and I wish to accept all > e-mail even from servers listed with spamcop. from http://cr.yp.to/ucspi-tcp/rblsmtpd.html : If the $RBLSMTPD environment variable is set and is nonempty, rblsmtpd blocks mail. It uses $RBLSMTPD as an error message for the client. Normally rblsmtpd runs under tcpserver; you can use tcprules to set $RBLSMTPD for selected clients. If $RBLSMTPD is set and is empty, rblsmtpd does not block mail. If $RBLSMTPD is not set, rblsmtpd looks up $TCPREMOTEIP in the RBL, and blocks mail if $TCPREMOTEIP is listed. tcpserver sets up $TCPREMOTEIP as the IP address of the remote host. > :allow,RBLSMTPD="",TCPLOCALHOST="hostation.com" why set TCPLOCALHOST? just do this: some.ip.add.ress:allow,RBLSMTPD="" .host.example.org:allow,RBLSMTPD="" etc. >From the example you provided, it seems that you want to do this only for mails headed to some domain. With only one IP address, that is not possible. However, you can set up a different smtp service on another IP address, point your MX records at that, and allow spamcop listed hosts either by not adding spamcop to your rblsmtpd list (something I would recommend anyways, as they are too overly anal for my tastes), or if you want to not block any mail to that domain, simply leave out rblsmtpd all together. Or, you can use any combination of setting tcprules rules for hosts/removing rbl lists/removing rblsmtpd to get the required effect. Hope this helps, and please, in the future, try to post questions to the proper mailing lists, as that is why they exist :) -Jeremy -- Jeremy Kitchen <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
