RE: TMDA , Qmail - Mail not consistently released after verification

Kevin,

With regards to the 'from * confirm' rule yes I believe that it is in the
documentation, but as an example of something not to do unless you really
want ALL mail not handled by other rules (including tagged addresses) to be
confirmed.  The appropriate way to cause all otherwise unhandled messages to
be confirmed is to set the default action to confirm instead of deliver,
bounce or hold.  This way once the message makes it to the end of the
incoming filter then the tagged address checking will kick in and after that
the default action will apply if the address was not tagged or had an
invalid tag such as an expired dated address. =

I suspect this isn't right. 'from * confirm' is a pretty common rule,
I think (it's in the example incoming filter). I'd have to go over the
code to really check, though.

This is a very good point. The confirmation address is clearly screwy.
In fact, the original address was also screwy:

You can't have a username "tester-1" if your recipient delimiter is
"-". If this mail is actually reaching the tester-1 user, that
indicates the recipient delimiter is not the same in TMDA and Qmail.
TMDA appears to be using "-", but if Qmail recognized "-" it should be
delivering to a user named "tester".
