Hello I post this problem to the list maybe another person had the same problem? I have installed poplock 204 on my machine. I followed all the steps in the INSTALL file as following: inetd.conf (added log..authpre.. from poplock) pop3 stream tcp nowait root /var/qmail/bin/qmail-popup bastion.local host /usr/sbin/logpopauth-pre /usr/local/bin/checkpassword /usr/bin/logpopauth-p ost /var/qmail/bin/qmail-pop3d Maildir startserver.bat (added relaylock) QMAILDUID=`id -u qmaild` NOFILESGID=`id -g qmaild` /usr/local/bin/tcpserver -p -v -x /var/qmail/tcp.smtp.cdb \ -u "$QMAILDUID" -g "$NOFILESGID" 0 smtp \ /usr/sbin/relaylock /usr/local/bin/rblsmtpd \ -r blackholes.mail-abuse.org \ -r dialups.mail-abuse.org \ -r 'relays.mail-abuse.org: Ihr Mailserver steht auf einer Blackliste, Zustellung nicht m\xf6glich, siehe <URL:http://www.mail-abuse.org/cgi-bin/nph-rss?%IP%>' \ /var/qmail/bin/qmail-smtpd 2>&1 --------------- changed syslog.conf to read from pipe, later checked to read from var/log/maillog, no success. Normally I would assume that if I check mail from 192.168.0.1 that bastion# /usr/bin/showallowed ipaddr (and netmask) access window expires -------------------------------- ---------------------------- 127.0.0.1 never would show an additional line for 192.168.0.1 but there is no way. I really did everything possible of my knowledge, now I really need help. Hints, tips and so on welcome. Flamings, silly "read the dox" are going to /dev/NULL. bastion# uname -a FreeBSD bastion.localhost 4.2-STABLE FreeBSD 4.2-STABLE #1: Tue Feb 13 01:57:37 GMT 2001 [EMAIL PROTECTED]:/usr/src/sys/compile/bk3 i386 -- Boris
