Re: Relay-ctrl and qmail
It's strange that you use /etc/smtp.cdb to control pop access (!) and that you show us a different CDB file /etc/tcpcontrol/smtp.cdb in your system, are you sure you are using the right CDB file in your qmail-smtpd run script? it might help showing us that script too.

Re: Is there another procedure to enable Selective SMTP relaying which is not SMTP-after-POP?
That would be extremely dangerous, spam from anywhere would be relayed just by forging sender's address. The best solution for roamers' smtp is SMTP-after-POP, trust me, what i have done is to modify the source i found on the net (Bruce Guenter's) and i have customized it so my smtp server is not abused by non-roaming users of mine, and now it works simply fine. Enrique- |o| Charrua escribió |o| Hi all, |o| Is there another procedure to enable Selective SMTP relaying which is not |o| SMTP-after-POP?.

Re: SMTP authentication
I got exactly the same problem, the only thing i could do for now is to give them a webmail frontend but most people are very used to sending mail using their favorite mail programs. anyone here know any way this can be done? i use qmail on solaris, i'm open to any ideas. iPass has no information on this even though it's very related to their business.

Date: field rewritten?
Hi, Some of my users are complaining that Qmail is rewriting dates showing in the "Date:" field, for instance, if someone write some message from France right now being 1 pm here and 7 pm in Paris, it shows our 1 pm local time under qmail, a copy of the *SAME* message in a sendmail-based box shows me 7 pm as the "Date:" field which is -i believe- accurate. What do i have to dso so shat Qmail does NOT rewrite Date: fields?? Thanks! Enrique-
badmailfrom not working..
Hi, I am using qmail 1.03 along with tcpserver, the problem i have is that apparently my ~qmaild/control/badmailfrom file is not blocking anything at all, for instance i have tried sending mail from some remote unauthorized location as '[EMAIL PROTECTED]' which *IS* listed in that file and the sender -unexpectedly- is acepted: % telnet myhost.mydomain 25 Connected. 220 myhost.mydomain ESMTP ... mail from: [EMAIL PROTECTED] 250 ok Besides, command "ls -lu ~qmaild/control/badmailfrom" reports that the file is not even being read, am i missing something somewhere?

Anti-Spam domains+users list
Hi, I used to access thru a script the anti-spam list usually found at: http://www.webeasy.com:8080/spam/spam_download_table but it hasn't been working for weeks now, do you guys know any other updated TXT-format anti-spam list of users and domains that i can use to fill my badmailfrom file and block at least *some* of the spam in my qmail? Thanks, Enrique-
string based blocking in Qmail
Hi, I'd like to block any email sent to my host using Multimailer, since it's a well kown program widely used to send SPAM. The header line that identifies Multimailer is: X-Mailer: MultiMailer (3.1.0) I'm using qmail 1.03 with tcpserver with syslog logging. How can this be done? thanks.. really. Enrique-

log connections using tcpserver?
Hi all, I'm using qmail 1.03, i'd like to log every IP connection to my qmail smtp server, i've noticed that tcpserver is not logging this info for now, my tcpserver runs like follows: tcpserver -R -c 100 -x /etc/tcp.smtp.cdb -v -u 7170 -g 1100 0 smtp /var/qmail/bin/qmail-smtpd \ 2>&1 | /var/qmail/bin/splogger smtpd 3 & Any suggestions so i can log IP connections too? Thanks! Enrique-
IDENTD timeout
Is there a config somewhere so i can decrease identd timeout to something less than 30 seconds? my qmail server is attempting to connect to identd ports of every remote host that opens a port 25 connection to it, and frequently these hosts are behind firewalls blocking identd ports (tcp/113). I can of course change the source code: (line 46 of tcp-env.c): timeout = 30; ZMailer has a 3/4 secs timeout, which i believe is acceptable, why in hell would qmail need a 30 sec (or so) identd timeout? Anyone willing to explain? Enrique-
Routing mail for a specific domain

What POP/IMAP servers are best?
Hi all, I have some 15.000 users in my system and i'm currently testing qmail with Maildirs (btw i need/want to use Maildirs over NFS), the problem i see is that since Maildirs change a tiny bit the way my pop and imap servers work (in other words, my current daemons won't work), so i was wondering whether you'd have suggestions on what POP and IMAP servers i should use with qmail with maildirs so i can have the best performance i can get. Of course i'd like to change *nothing* in my users' PCs (especially regarding POP clients!) however IMAP i can handle any client changes very easily. Thanks a lot for any ideas! Enrique-
