Re: open-smtp woes
Check to make sure that the patch to checkpassword inserted the line: char *opensmtp = "/usr/local/bin/pop3-record"; Correctly, the error looks like it is coming from the call *to* pop3-record from checkpassword, not pop3-record itself (Hoping I am guessing correctly) Gerry At 01:48 PM 11/8/2000 -0500, "Robin S.

It's not necessary to use that part of it, but it helps in cases where you've got clients you want to relay for who have very broken software, like old versions of Eudora or Outlook on Windows.

An open-smtp question
Hey All, Just started to implement open-smtp4 package from Russel Nelson. Everything seems fine, I patched checkpassword, installed tcpcontrol, the \etc\smtp.filter.newer file is getting updated. However, (there is always a however) myremote users still can't send mail after authenticating to the mail server and receiving mail. I can see their IP addresses in smtp.filter.newer and I've experimented with them using different MUA's still no luck. Any ideas where to look for possible problems? Thanks, -=Andy
Help please with a simple problem open-smtp code
Using the pop3-record-alternative under RedHat Linux 6.0 (2.2-15) and qmail-1.03 "memphis" rpm's, getting an error: There was a problem logging onto your mail server. Your Password was rejected. Account: 'mail.newman.com', Server: 'mail.newman.com', Protocol: POP3, Server Response: 'tcprules: fatal: unable to parse this line: 206.84.204.38:allow,RELAYCLIENT=', Port: 110, Secure(SSL): No, Server Error: 0x800CCC90, Error Number: 0x800CCC92 checking mail from the outside world. I believe this is coming from the patched "checkpassword" function. It may be related to the fact that the RELAYCLIENT entry that pop3-record generates looks like: [root@mail tcprules.d]# cat smtp.filter.newer 206.84.204.38:allow,RELAYCLIENT= Instead of: 206.84.204.38:allow,RELAYCLIENT="" If that's the case, how do I change the line of code: echo ``$TCPREMOTEIP''':allow,RELAYCLIENT=' $TCPDIR/smtp.filter.newer in pop3-record to generate the ""'s. If that's not the case, can anyone tell me what else might be wrong? TIA, Rob Havens
Russ Nelson's open-smtp patch
Can anyone explain how to install Russ Nelson's open-smtp patch for qmail? I am interested in patching my qmail installation to allow relaying for POP3 authenticated users. I have downloaded the code, but the README just says to patch checkpassword, but I am unfamilar with patching programs. Additionally, there are 2 checkpassword.patch files in the tar: checkpassword.patch checkpassword.patch~ Would anyone mind explaining the patch process? (Russ :) ?) Thanks, Michael Lundberg
RE: Russ Nelson's open-smtp patch
Vince Vielhaber [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] wrote: An easier way than patching is to use David Harris' smtp-poplock. I just installed it here and it looks like it's gonna work so I can do the last step in the installation :) http://www.davideous.com/smtp-poplock/ The main advantage of smtp-poplock is that you don't have to patch any of the programs, and it can work with any of the checkpassword variants. There had been some lingering problems with the checkpassword authentication logging tie in, but they were solved in the latest release. There are two tie ins, basically. First to log the POP3 authentication, you just insert lobpopauth-pre and logpopauth-post before and after checkpassword in the (tcpserver or inetd.con) chain of commands. For the second tie in, you just add "relaylock" before qmail-smtpd in your (tcpserver) chain of commands. The "relaylock" program simply sets the RELAYCLIENT environment variable if that host has authenticated with POP3, allowing them to relay mail. - David Harris Principal Engineer, DRH Internet Services

open smtp performance
i have a little question regarding open smtp's performance under heavy load. Running a separate shell process and then recreate tcprules for every pop3 connection looks like an overkill for me. We have a 3000+ users serer here and we HAVE to implement some kind of authentication before relaying and we can not just allow certain IP's as few of our customers are using IPass or public dialups here. If opensmtp is not suitable for us then could you poing me to any alternative? Krzysztof Dabrowski
Re: open smtp performance
I am using Russel Nelson's POP3 before SMTP very successfully here on a single server handling 10,000 users. I had to modify it slightly though. My tcprules update code makes sure that I have not already got a rule that covers the new IP before adding it. This works well and I will be expanding it in the next month to handle multiple mail servers working off of a common tcprules set. I will post my results when I am done. :) Tim Mayo On Fri, 21 May 1999, Krzysztof Dabrowski wrote: i have a little question regarding open smtp's performance under heavy load.
