yes, there's a difference in how ipsvd and tcpserver handle tcp rules (client based instructions), you cannot use tcpserver's tcp.smtp.cdb with tcpsvd. ipsvd instead uses an instructions directory (which optionally can be compiled into a cdb, but doesn't need to, and the format differs from tcpserver's cdb). See http://smarden.org/ipsvd/ipsvd-instruct.5.html for details, and http://smarden.org/ipsvd/examples.html#instruct for some examples. For the qmail-smtp service I would suggest an instructions directory /etc/qmail/smtp/peers or so, and then starting tcpsvd with the -i option, e.g.: tcpsvd -v -l0 -i/etc/qmail/smtp/peers -c"$MAXSMTPD" -uqmaild \ 0 smtp qmail-smtpd To allow relaying for 127.0.0.1, do echo '+RELAYCLIENT=' >/etc/qmail/smtp/peers/127.0.0.1 chmod 644 /etc/qmail/smtp/peers/127.0.0.1 See http://smarden.org/ipsvd/ipsvd-cdb.8.html if you want to compile the instructions directory into a cdb (and then use the -x instead of the -i option), but I don't think this needs to be the default. > I don't want to do a complete daemontools packaging, just a > "drop-in-replacement" of ucspi-tcp. There's also the runit package in Debian ;-), a kind-of daemontools replacement.
