Re: [mailop] Any old-school sendmail types here good with the m4?

2023-08-23 Thread Patrick via mailop
Yeah, M4 + `make' is great. It's basically Chef/Puppet before those were a 
thing. 

M4 toggles the critic bit in your head. Instead of writing a config file to 
just make the damn thing work, you reduce the config where possible and that 
makes one-offs painfully obvious. And it's wicked easy to start, just `cp $cfg 
$cfg.m4` , and start editing the m4 -- instead of reducing the $cfg to a 
template and a YAML file. 

And because M4 is not well known, all config file syntaxes expand until they 
poorly implement M4

Re: [mailop] SMTP AUTH harassment

2021-07-18 Thread Patrick via mailop
Wow. A fake auth module would seem to invite spam storms. Which for some might 
be handle-able and a good way to learn interactively with botnets?

Has anyone implemented such a thing? Thanks!

Because you have to buy a VMC for your logo.

Which means we are back to managing certificate authorities
