Title: procmail: admin gets mails of all users too
Post by: Stefan Brunnengraeber on November 19, 2001, 03:59:41 PM

Hello,

really: some threads of mine were not listed in the phorum. Buggy software?

My question:
I installed procmail.rpm, users kann fetch their mails but admin gets them too. Whats wrong?

2nd:
Can I set up a filter in procmail to delete incomming messages that could not be sortet to the users?

Bye,
Stefan Brunnengraeber

Hello Stephen,

I don't generate a copy to the admin.
Yes, of course, I firstly have to read some docs.
Found this one ...

Is it really like this, that the domain name of the SME server has to be the same as the ISP domain where worldwide emails going in?
I set up a filter that the messages to "stefan" goe to the useraccount stefan.
If I set the domain xyz.de, same as my Internet domain, those mails are reaching the user. If I set the SME domain to abc.de and my ISP domain is still xyz.de the mails all go to the admin, none to the user.
