Questions and answers
Which domains are checked by chkuser?
chkuser handles all domains who are in rcpthosts (or
morercpthosts) and inside virtualdomains.
If the domain is only inside rcpthosts (or
morercpthosts), no checking is done.
So, if you are a backup MX domains, and want just to
accept messages for some domains without checking any recipient, be sure your
domain is in rcpthosts but not in virtualhosts (and create an entry in
smtproutes if you need so).
How to disable SENDER checking for my private authorized
senders?
Enable (uncomment) the following define, and set it to
RELAYCLIENT.
#define CHKUSER_SENDER_NOCHECK_VARIABLE
"RELAYCLIENT"
Thanks to Alex Pleiner for this tip.
How to disable chkuser for my private authorized senders?
Enable (uncomment) the following define, and set it to
whatever value.
#define CHKUSER_DISABLE_VARIABLE
"CHKUSER_DISABLE_VARIABLE"
How can I create a "submission port"?
chkuser feature CHKUSER_EXTRA_MUSTAUTH_VARIABLE can
force qmail-smtpd to accept only messages from authenticated users (it happens
when RELAYCLIENT is set).
In order to enable this feature, you must run
qmail-smtpd on 587 port, and qmail-smtpd must be compiled with the following
define set:
#define CHKUSER_EXTRA_MUSTAUTH_VARIABLE
"CHKUSER_MUSTAUTH"
At run time, when CHKUSER_MUSTAUTH is defined, only authenticated
messages are accepted. |
