How to Implement Sender Restricted Groups on Qmail-LDAP environment

Contents

Sender Restricted Groups When a Sender send a mail to the group , the Qmail see whether the sender is allowed to send the mail or not . Also Sends back a mail to the sender , for him to reply and release the mail to the group members .

We add a users on mail group who can receive a mail when ever a sender send a mail on this group.

Please have following example of Sender Restricted group implemented in LDAP

Please note

• objectClass: qmailGroup is mandatory.
• The Restricted Sender is defined a email address by rfc822sender . The sender can belong to any domain . You can also define dnsender
• To Ensure that the mails generated by the sender are authentic in nature , senderconfirm: TRUE is specified . An return mail to the same ID will be generated by Qmail ( Qmail-secetary ) and the sender has to reply this mail to release the sent mail to Group .
