RCPTCHECK support in your combined patch



Hello John,

I just visited the page in the section for the RCPTCHECK support, and there was something that i didn't quite understand. You say

"The validrcptto.cdb file (if any) will be checked before the RCPTCHECK program (if any) runs. If the validrcptto.cdb mechanism rejects a recipient, the RCPTCHECK program will not be run for that recipient."

How does the validrcptto.cdb mechanism reject a recipient? Doesn't it only check for the existance, authorizing if it does exist and rejecting if it doesn't? If so, what's the point of supporting the external RCPTCHECK? Is it only to provide a way for greylisting (and friends)?

I realy think that the external RCPTCHECK should be able to be done, since it could also provide the original purpose of doing recipient checking not supported natively by the (altered) qmail installation. If your mind is really set to what you have described, maybe you could consider allowing the further recipient checking to be done if another env var was set. (EXTENDED_RCPTCHECK?)


Regards,


Hugo Monteiro.
