Hey there,

this would be really the thing for me to install modaboa as replacement for my stupid Plesk which was a quick solution but should be dropped by christmas. I am able to help out ( at least a bit ) with manpower, but I don't want to do this alone and from scratch so are there already thoughts about this and which tool behind postfix would you use for this?

Have a nice weekend and greetings from Germany,

Bastian

@Avalarion For now, I don't know which tool could be used to implement this feature. I'm still wondering if it is something we could start "from scratch" or not...

A friend of mine told me that this could be done by http://policyd.sourceforge.net/readme.html but I have no experience with that yet...

As I am not 100% sure which tools to use next ( writing my own thing, buy a working version or using modoboa ) I have on my agenda to at least read the documentation of policyd. The first few lines read exactly like this would be the shit we want to use but I would not decide this on my own as this is your project^^.

we have major issue with spams at the moment. Microsoft blocks the whole server because one of our clients got reported spam on a few emails. this feature can help a lot.

ps: anybody had the same issue with outlook/hotmail? how can I resolve it?

@hadifarnoud Do you why those messages were considered as spam? Throttling might not be the right answer in your case...

@tonioo when a few people report an email as spam in outlook/hotmail/live, Microsoft blocks the whole server IP. they are too strict on this. throttling might allow us identify who's sending a lot of spam.

I use this email server as added service to our customers. so, a lot of people are using it. one bad apple can cause problems for all

@hadifarnoud Indeed. A better solution would be to use different servers...

if there was a way to set up modoboa as a cluster, that would help with using different servers for every so many users
