Thanks Eric, it uses Xinetd. FYI, it is a very old version of parallels automation qmail which has been customized, also it is distributed. It is very risky if I install a third-party application and this is why I decided to have a mail filter layer.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I think you *do* want mydomain.com in the rcpthosts file for both servers. If you didn't have mydomain.com in your filtering server, the only way it could receive email is from authenticated connections.

A somewhat unusual aspect of spamdyke is that it will actually *reduce* the load on your qmail host, so adding more processing capacity would be a waste. Spamdyke integrates rather seamlessly with qmail, and should easily work with any ol' version/configuration of qmail. You could even give the qtp-install-spamdyke script a try. (Note, many other tools in the qmailtoaster-plus package will work with non-QMT hosts as well). The only thing you'll likely need to adjust a bit is the run file for qmail-smtpd, presuming your qmail configuration uses supervise and ucspi-tcp which most do. Even if you use xinetd though, spamdyke can be used directly on your qmail host. If you have a run file, you can post it here and we'll help you get it fitted for spamdyke. -- -Eric 'shubes' --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: qmailtoaster-list-unsubscr...@qmailtoaster.com For additional commands, e-mail: qmailtoaster-list-h...@qmailtoaster.com
