I will suggest better to study FAQs first from www.inter7.com regarding vpopmail....

(Dennis Ritchie) ----- Original Message ----- From: "Jens Benecke [work]" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Friday, July 11, 2003 5:01 PM Subject: [vchkpw] Changing from vmailmgr to vpopmail | Hi everybody, | | I am currently running a server with about 80 domains and about 30 users. | The server runs qmail+QMAILQUEUE+SMTP-AUTH+TARPIT, vmailmgr, daemontools, | dnscache, Squirrelmail 1.4, qmail-pop3d, courier-imap, and sslwrap for POP3 | and IMAP. I also have Spamassassin and F-Prot included via Qmail-Scanner. I | additionally have several 'script' aliases (for example sending a mail to | "[EMAIL PROTECTED]" will cause a specific script to be executed as the user | who owns 'domain.foo', where "XYZ" counts as a kind of password for this | trigger). | | Most users have several domains which I just created as aliases in the qmail | configuration. | | I have now been hit hard by spammers (some idiot spammer has been using my | domains as Return-Path for a week and I get about 20.000 "Undeliverable", | "Please confirm" and "YOU F*CKING SPAMMER!11!!" mails a day(!). I want my | users to be able to use TMDA for their domains and I would like a | user-friendly interface for this. | | | Now, using vmailmgr, I get the impression that most of the add-ons that are | desinged for virtual users are made for vpopmail. qmailadmin for example. | Also, I get the impression that vpopmail is much more widely used. | So: | | - Am I correct? Is it a good idea to switch to vpopmail? | | - Can I use vpopmail and still have my users read their mail with 'mutt' | locally if they want? Some of the users have SSH access. I understand all | mail will be handled by the 'vpopmail' user, that might present a problem. | | - Does vpopmail allow some domains to be excluded and just be forwarded to | eg. /home/jens/Maildir/? (I don't need my own domains to be split up - I | just use a couple .qmail files for @jensbenecke.de). | | - Is there a package of vpopmail that does not put everything in the | vpopmail home directory? I have /home mounted 'noexec,nosuid,nodev' (for | security) and I'm not about to change that. Binaries go in /usr/local/bin | or somewhere IMHO ... | | Thank you! | | | | -- | Jens Benecke ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) | | |
