Tim, Thanks for all your help with this - your suggestion was right on the money.... It is working as it should now (able to protect a single account)..
However, throughout all of this I experienced a couple of other issues which have me a bit baffled.... #1. The "please confirm you message" responses seem to keep being sent over-and-over again... Any idea why this might be happening and how I can set it so that it only sends out one?.. Perhaps a better way to frame this would be: what configuration file do you think I should be looking at/sending to help narrow in on this one?.. There's just a LOT here which is new to me and I'm trying to get my head around all of it.... #2. Is there a way to set it up so that for the first days or so that it won't send out confirmation messages and give me an opportunity to flag the messages from mailing lists which I am subscribed to?... I'd rather not bombard the mailing lists with these type of confirmation messages (which would probably just get rejected anyways).... - Greg >> > 3) Edit /usr/local/vpopmail/domains/net-virtual.com/.qmail-default. >> > It should look like this: >> > >> > | preline /usr/local/bin/tmda-filter -S >> >/usr/local/vpopmail/bin/vpopmail-vdir.sh >> > | /usr/local/vpopmail/bin/vdelivermail '' bounce-no-mailbox >> >> Secondly, when I do item #3 above, all of a sudden it is protecting *ALL* >> of my email accounts and I don't want that... > >Ah.
