Sorry about the long setup, but I think it will show why the request is important to me. I have a layered spam control system: 1) Local blacklist 2) Remote blacklists. 3) Envelope sender (DNS/MX/etc.) checks. 4) Honeypot. 5) Qconfirm (for those users that opt in). The honeypot (4) adds the sending ip address to the local blacklist. A service will expire the IP address from the blacklist if no smtp connection from that IP is made over a specified duration. The nice thing about (1) through (3) is that they don't queue anything. The email is effectively blocked before it enters the system. However, a small percentage of emails gets through this and an then an even smaller percentage of the remaining get through qconfirm. Those that get through qconfirm mostly have a return envelope domain set to my domain with a munged user name (i.e. joezcv when sending to joe). I'm planning on updating my envelope checker to see if the sender says he's from my domain the sending user is valid. Request: I'd like qconfirm to forward emails that are not confirmed automatically to the honeypot. So my question is... Is there a way to hook the qconfirm system so that when an email expires it can do this? Thanks, Gary
