Re: SMTP-after-POP3 AUTH
Some users do not understand how to setup their machines to use seperate smtp servers depending on how they connect. I can relate with traveling sales and support people. Really though Bruce's package is the best, and you should be using tcpserver anyway. - Original Message - From: "Peter Cavender" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "Bruce Dang" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Cc: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Saturday, February 10, 2001 9:15 PM Subject: Re: SMTP-after-POP3 AUTH > I just have to ask why you need to do this.

RE: SMTP-after-POP3 AUTH
If you use tcpserver (which I strongly suggest) you can use the relay control scripts on qmail.org. I use this method and it works very well. You can have tcpserver coexist with inetd, etc, just have inetd stop controlling those services. Follow the qmail HOWTO sections about tcpserver, and once you get that installed, the relayctrl scripts will make alot more sense. I'd show you mine, but unless you are already running tcpserver, its useless to you. -Steve -Original Message- From: Peter Cavender [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Saturday, February 10, 2001 9:15 PM To: Bruce Dang Cc: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: SMTP-after-POP3 AUTH I just have to ask why you need to do this.

Well, ideally, switch to tcpserver first. It's really not that painful, and there are other benefits. I don't even run inetd/xinetd on any of the boxes I have qmail on. What particularly in his instructions did you find vague? Bruce runs a few mailing lists of his own for support for his software -- asking there might get you answers. <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> and <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> might be appropriate -- they're ezmlm lists, so the -subscribe addresses work.

Yes, it's an excellent method of providing an SMTP relay to roaming users. Several implementations for qmail exist; they are mentioned on www.qmail.org.

SMTP-after-POP3 AUTH
Is it possible to have users send email only after they've been POP3-authenticated. For example, if I want to send an email, I would have to check my mail first..then for a duration for like 2 or 3 minutes, I can send my email. The reason I want this is because I do not want to have an open relay and my users want to send/check their mail from home. I looked at Mr.Guenter's relay-ctl, but it seems to lack directions. I do not understand how to set it up. I installed qmail according to Dr. Bernstein's INSTALL direction, so I did not use tcpserver (daemontools). Can someone help me out?
