vpopmail doesn't provide recipient validation, although it does include a couple of helper programs that can do it (just not during the SMTP connection). In order for vpopmail admins to get it, they have to patch qmail (TTBOMK).
Based on the number of emails I've received asking for this feature, I don't think most people have it. My own server doesn't, because (in my case) the pain of additional emails doesn't outweigh the pain of patching and updating a working qmail installation. I wasn't aware of vmailmgr however; I'll try to make sure spamdyke plays nice with it. -- Sam Clippinger Olivier Mueller wrote: > Hi, > > On Thu, 2008-05-15 at 15:36 -0500, Sam Clippinger wrote: > >> I haven't yet decided how to implement it, but I think it won't be >> useful unless it supports (at minimum) plain vanilla qmail, qmail with >> vpopmail, qmail with vpopmail+MySQL and Plesk (qmail+chkuser).
