Thats up to you: if you use "file" (recommended), then, upon table changes, you have to restart smtpd(8) to read the new contents OR use "smtpctl(8) update table <yourtablename>". If you use "db", then you have to run makemap(8) on your file, which produces a <yourfilename>.db, which should be referenced in smtpd.conf. In this case after running makemap smtpd has the new contents. > I have created this table in my smtpd.conf but I am not sure it is > correct? > table passwd file:/etc/mail/passwd "passwd" would be the NAME of your table which you should use in your smtpd.conf if you want to auth, untested example, taken right from smtpd.conf(5): listen on egress auth <passwd> > Though I have seen a sample configuration from another site using a > different table type; > table passwd passwd:/etc/mail/passwd > Reading the man page, it does not make any reference to the table type > using ‘passwd’. It only talks about ‘file’ and ‘db’. Nope! With OpenBSD software it's more like: If not in manual, then not in code. Neither table(5) nor smtpd.conf(5) contain the string "passwd". But you can use it as a name you want to use. Marcus -- You received this mail because you are subscribed to misc@opensmtpd.org To unsubscribe, send a mail to: misc+unsubscr...@opensmtpd.org
