Well this would be the same as less'ing or grepping the mailbox of the
user if it was in mbox format, thereby changing the atime on the mailbox.
This would not hurt. I am only interested in a quick way for shells and
status-bars (of the window managers) to indicate when new mail arrives,
without stat()ing all files in the maildir directory constantly.
Mike.

Coincidentally, Dan published http://pobox.com/~djb/hash127.html a few
hours before I sent that message.
hash127 is nice, but unless it interoperates with other devices that
do an MD5 (in particular, Cisco's tacacs protocol, or less particular,
pop3's APOP), it doesn't do me any good.

I am trying to get smtp-poplock working.
I currently have an RH5.2 test system set up. I have qmail runnig and
pop3 works fine. I use inetd (please no flames about running
indetd!).
I followed the install instructions and still seem to have something
wrong.
If readlog is not started and email goes through qmail the fifo has
data in it. If I start readlog, the size goes to 0. This only
happens when sending mail through the system, not during a pop3 mail
pickup. Nothing ever appears in /var/smtp-poplock.
I do not understand how the program will get authenticated names from
the log. POP3 transactions have never been logged to the maillog in
any of my installations. Is there some switch I am missing? Some
other entry in inetd.conf besides the SMTP stream entry?
Thanks in advance.

One last question.
Is there an rcpthosts file when using mtp-poplock?

There are a couple of things you can do. One is to patch qmail with one of the
large DNS packet patches, which you'll find on the qmail web site. The other,
easier thing to do is to look up the mail exchangers for aol.com and stick one
of them in your smtproutes file, like so:
aol.com:yc.mx.aol.com

Ummmm, i looked in controls (and I don't have a smtproutes file), is this
where it goes (we need O'Reilly to publish a qmail book which covers all
this neat stuff in simple plain english)...<IMO>
-Bill
p.s. - will smtproutes cause any problems with std mail delivery?

Well you're in luck. Russell Nelson is busy with one at the moment. Should be
out in a few months.

Yes, smtproutes goes in the control directory (man qmail-control). Basically,
as I understand it, if you list a host or domain in smtproutes qmail will not
do a DNS lookup to find out where to deliver the mail, it will use the host
that you specify instead.
So, to get around the fact that AOL returns large DNS packets when qmail does
an MX lookup, the suggestion was to hardcode one of AOL's mail servers as the
destination for all aol mail and thereby avoid doing the DNS lookups.

I've noticed that beta versions of Eudora (which my clients
will eventually update to when they are released, I presume) tell the
pop server 'CAPA' to determine what commands are supported when they
log in. I'm still undecided about whether or not this -should- be
supported, but I went ahead and modified the existing patch (that
just returns 'APOP') to function more like Eudora expects anyway.
Basically, I took a look at what qpopper says (I presume that
if anything returns the correct information, it's qpopper) and made
qmail-popup say the same thing (minus strange stuff that I don't
think it supports).
You may want to remove the APOP line if you don't actually
-use- APOP, Other than that, the rest of the commands are supported
by vanilla qmail-popup.
Due to its small size, the patch is attached.
