I'm sorry if this is not very coherent: I'm tired and spacy and have been working on this for almost 11 hours.
How can I turn/modify the virus scanning? For some reason, my old email account (which I have been using to send test mails to the toaster box) has been blocked. Is there a web-based administration tool or will I need to edit a file on the server?
The weird thing is, I know I'm not sending a virus from the server, I don't know why I would have been blocked. I feel like I'm very close to getting this working, but I've having problems w/this part of it.
Also, if everything is set up correctly, shouldn't I be able to add a user from within qmailadmin and have it work correctly? I've added users there and it seems that sometimes they can receive mail and sometimes they cannot.
Thanks.
If I'm understanding you correctly, you want to remove the IP address of your old mail server from ~vpopmail/etc/tcp.smtp
To avoid that machine being blocked in the future, add a line like this (outside of the virus entries section):
207.245.113.40:allow,RELAYCLIENT="",RBLSMTPD=""
(substituting the IP address of your server, of course).
This can happen if you have mail auto-forwarding from the other server, and the other server forwards a virus.
Thanks for your reply. Apparently things are more messed up than I thought, as sending emails out from webmail aren't working from the new accounts I set up (only the first one. Very odd.)

I don't know where there is still the example.com address in there. I swear I've searched all the conf files and can't find it.
Also, would it be worth trying to blow away the installation and building it all from the start again? (Can you see my w2k experience showing?)
