What MTA are you using? qmail, Postfix, Exim? > Must I observe this? (In other words, can I skip this? because I > do not understand what it is for.) You don't have to set them yourself. You have to make sure that your MTA is configured to set them. qmail and Postfix do automatically. You have to configure Exim to do so http://tmda.net/config-pre.html#exim and, if you are using Sendmail, you have to follow the instructions at both of these pages http://tmda.net/config-pre.html#sendmail They will not be set to 'sender', or 'recipient+foo' or 'foo'. They will be set based on the piece of email you are receiving. So, if I send you an email, your MTA will set [EMAIL PROTECTED], [EMAIL PROTECTED] and EXT=list-tmda (qmail) or EXTENSION=list-tmda (all the other MTAs). > And a little question on filter. > My incoming filter is made as > > from [EMAIL PROTECTED] accept Do you know someone who has the email address '[EMAIL PROTECTED]'? If not, this won't help you. 'foo' is just an example. To allow mail from me, using the same example from above, your rule would look like this from [EMAIL PROTECTED] accept If you plan on getting mail from more than 5 or 10 people, you should put their email addresses into a file, one on each line. You can name the file whatever you want. I'll call it 'whitelist' for this example. Many of us put it in the .tmda/lists directory -- in your case, probably /home/yjy/.tmda/lists. Then, you should put a rule in your incoming filter that tells TMDA where to find the file, like this from-file ~/.tmda/lists/whitelist accept That will allow you to accept mail from anyone whose address is in that file.
