It is designed to work with Postfix. Authentication is against a MySQL database as used by pam_mysql (username + password) or by using one of the virtual email addresses (also stored in the MySQL database) and that password.

CG_spam_filter.pl 1.8 http://freshmeat.net/releases/131462/ CG_spam_filter.pl provides a content filter program for the Stalker CommuniGate Pro mail server that seeks to limit the number of outgoing spam your local users can send and incoming spam your system can receive. In essence, it is a throttling script that starts rejecting mail once a certain threshold is reached, such as X messages or recipients per minute. It is difficult to catch spammers until after the fact (when they have already done lots of damage and spammed many users); this is simply an effort to stop them in their tracks in real-time so you can deal with them later. checkpassword-pam 0.97 http://freshmeat.net/releases/131483/ checkpassword-pam is an implementation of a PAM- based checkpassword-compatible authentication program, but is more modern and administrator- friendly. cmdftp 0.5 http://freshmeat.net/releases/131438/ cmdftp is a command line FTP client for Linux with shell-like functions which uses passive mode only, works in local and remote mode transparently, tries to keep the connection alive, and supports multiple and recursive file transfers.

As well as greylisting, black and white listing is also supported. The system is only for gateways, and will only relay for hosts on an internal IP (e.g. 10.0.0.0, 192.168.0.0, etc.) and only accept for users specifically listed in the configuration files. The target market is small offices and home users with static IPs. Others can use the system but its value will be limited. Dial-up is not yet supported.
