WU-FTPD 2.6.1 Release Notes (5900-2465, September 2012)

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).
Following are examples of the email-on-load feature:
◦ mailserver abc.com
This specifies the name of a mail server that accepts upload notifications for the FTP
daemon. You can use this option to notify any user of anonymous uploads.
◦ incmail [e-mail]
This specifies the email addresses to be notified of anonymous uploads.
◦ mailfrom [e-mail]
This specifies the sender’s email address for anonymous upload notifications.
• Timeout Values
You can configure timeout values used within the FTP daemon by using the timeout options.
Table 1 describes the FTP daemon timeout values.

time period, it disconnects.
