but wouldnt require the user to shell inside the server? what if a user (e.g. corporate secretary) just wants to sends an email to everyone in the company? also, i just thought just now that i create an alias e.g. .qmail-employee, then inside it are the email addresses of each employee but how can i prevent outside from sending to [EMAIL PROTECTED] to prevent spam. Also, is there a way of putting a script to populate automatically the alias so i dont have to insert the email each time a new user is added?
I recommend you use ezmlm. Just setup a moderated list, where moderators are the only ones that can post. Make your secretary a moderator, and then tell her that after sending the email, she'll have to acknowledge it to go through. It's 2 steps, but allows you to limit who can send to the list. Also, if you use qmailadmin, the new user screen will allow you to optionally add a new user to that list.

Kewl, thats the best and simplest idea :) Anyway, i was just playing around with some script using another method. Help is accepted :)
I create an alias file e.g
#/home/vpopmail/domains/mydomain.com/.qmail-allemail
#!/bin/bash # begin script # File : .qmail-allemail # Check if coming from local domain, no script yet # please help out hehehe
# List all emails vpath=/home/vpopmail usrs=`$vpath/bin/vpopbull -n -V` for user in $usrs do echo -e &"${user}" # would "Maildir/cur" make it faster? done # end of script
