New Clauses in the /etc/ftpd/ftpaccess File
The following new clauses are added in the /etc/ftpd/ftpaccess file:
• The email-on load Clause
You can use this clause to specify email addresses for anonymous upload notifications
and also to specify the email address of the sender. By default, the address of the
sender is specified as wu-ftpd. You can specify this for virtual hosts also. If the
recipient attempts to reply to a notification or if downstream mail problems generate
bounces, ensure that the mailfrom address is a valid address, to avoid delivery
problems.
The syntax for the email-on load feature is as follows:
◦ mailserver <hostname>
◦ incmail <emailaddress>
virtual <address> incmail <emailaddress>
defaultserver incmail <email address>
◦ mailfrom <emailaddress>
virtual <address> mailfrom <emailaddress>
defaultserver incmail <emailaddress>
◦ deny-email <case-insensitive-email-address>
If you specify virtual host addresses, the addresses only on a particular host
receive notification messages of anonymous uploads. Otherwise, notifications are
sent to the global addresses.
The defaultserver addresses apply only to real hosts and not to virtual hosts.
Hence, the real host receives notifications of uploads on its default anonymous area.
However, with this option set, the virtual hosts are not notified. For more information
on the email-on-load feature, see ftpaccess(4).
