What do you think of that ??? I think the "Red Hat Linux release 5.2 (Apollo) Kernel 2.0.36 on an i686" and the "FortKnox Proxy Telnet (Version 4.0)", and the "FortKnox Proxy Transparent FTP (Version 4.0)" and others are all messed up. Try telnetting to mailhost.temex.fr, ports 21 and 25 using Windows' telnet and you'll see why... :-) As I complained to sorena (the editor of ZMailer) of errors 500 generated when there was a connection in between Qmail and Zmailer, here was their answer... Any idea ? Delivered-To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Delivered-To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: QMAIL definitely violates PIPELINING specification ... yep, it is definite, QMAIL violates RFC 2197, and should *NOT* claim support for PIPELINING. MAIL From:[EMAIL PROTECTED] BODY=8BITMIME RCPT To:[EMAIL PROTECTED] 250 ok 250 ok After that "MAIL From:" command it reads successfully the "RCPT To:", but it would loose any input (at least the "DATA") after "RCPT To:" processing. /Matti Aarnio Regards, Andrzej Kukula

What patches are you using in you PIPELINING-violating installation? What can be done to fix the bug in the patch? Which patch should others avoid to avoid violating rfc2197? -Sincerely, Fred (Frederik Lindberg, Infectious Diseases, WashU, St. Louis, MO, USA)

What you're using isn't qmail, so don't call it qmail, and don't ask the qmail list for help. I agree. How about giving us permission to distribute a modified form of qmail in source and executable form as long as we call it something other than qmail? If you do that, then the need for patches will go away, and there won't *be* any patches for qmail. -- -russ nelson [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://crynwr.com/~nelson Crynwr supports Open Source(tm) Software| PGPok | There is good evidence 521 Pleasant Valley Rd. | +1 315 268 1925 voice | that freedom is the Potsdam, NY 13676-3213 | +1 315 268 9201 FAX | cause of world peace.
