Topic: TMDA integration with iRedMail

======== Required information ====
- iRedMail version: 0.8.6
- Store mail accounts in which backend (LDAP/MySQL/PGSQL): MySQL
- Linux/BSD distribution name and version: Centos 6.4 64-bit
- Related log if you're reporting an issue:
====

I would like to implement TMDA (Tagged Message Delivery Agent) for specific users in iRedMail, has anyone done this? If so is there any resources/documentation that would help me get started? I'm new to TMDA but it appears it requires a linux user to be created and I would like to avoid that and integrate it with iRedMail users.

Thanks!
Luke

I didn't try TMDA before. But it would be great if you can share some useful links of TMDA, so that others can know what it's.

TMDA (tmda.net) is a challenge/response system to help prevent spam. A lot of people find it rude and/or annoying because it will require that you click a link or enter a code before you can send to a user but it's effective at stopping unwanted emails.

I'm not familiar with TMDA other than what it's intended purpose is so I may end up writing my own challenge/response system as there is only one particular user who would like it implemented for him right now, am just curious if anyone here has done it with iRedMail.

I got few requests like this before.

Personally, i think it's a good idea to help reduce spam, the problem is, like you said, user friendly. Do you have any idea to make it more user-friendly?
