I am running amavis-0.2.0-pre6-clm-rl-8. The smtpd-auth patch seems to be
patching qmail-smtpd. I have looke at the code for the patch, but my
programming skills are so rusty, that I bet there are kindergadners that
know more about it than me. AMaViS is running great and seems to work, as
long as I dont patch qmail-smtpd. As soon as I run the patch I stop sending
and receiving mail. Fortunately though it does not seem to give the users
any errors when they try to send or receive mail, or I would have been
flooded with phone calls. Also the weird part about it was that as soon as
I re-installed the qmail binaries it still did not work. I had to reinstall
AMaViS as well. I guess I just reinforced a lesson that I have already
learned multiple times the hard way. "Don't try new things on production
servers!!!". If you want to get a copy of the smtpd-auth patch to look at,
you can get it at
