pop3 conections
Hi, my name is Andre and I´m a new user of qmail! I read a lot of documentation but I didn´t found information about how to control the incoming pop3 conections. My system is using both qmail-smtp and qmail-pop3d with tcpserver, and that´s the problem, with inetd we can control the incoming pop3 conections based on a range of i´address using the files hosts.allow and hosts.deny, so how can I do the same restrictions with the tcpserver?? Thank you by your attention!! Andre

POP is a different protcol from either local or remote email delivery. And a different protocol from smtp reception.

If you took the time to read the documentation on tcpserver and it's associated allow/deny methodology, you will recognize that it is based on IP addresses. Which implies a fundamental weakness in DNS poisoning. Which is a different discussion. I'm assuming you mean "i'address" means IP addresses. if you can not limit access to your service handled by a tcpserver process, you have not investigated the -x option and all it entails. Please do not bother the list with questions that can easily be answered by careful examination of available documentation. Ken Jones Thank you by your attention!! Andre
