hi some of my users need to compulsorily use port 25 for sending outgoing emails with smtp authentication
for such users if they use the primary ip for sending then get error that their ip is listed in blacklist - naturally because they are sending from dialup connections. since they cannot use port 587 i was planning to bind qmail smtp service to another ip address (yyy.yyy.yyy.yyy) on the server which could be used by these customers so i created a separate folder /var/qmail/supervise/smtpauth with all the files in it after making changes to the run file, restarted qmail. i was able send emails using alternate ip yyy.yyy.yyy.yyy but the problem is that the server does not ask for authentication even though i specified REQUIRE_AUTH=1. I need some help on this please. my run file is given below yyy.yyy.yyy.yyy -- is my secondary ip #!/bin/sh QMAILDUID=`id -u vpopmail` NOFILESGID=`id -g vpopmail` MAXSMTPD=`cat /var/qmail/control/concurrencyincoming` SMTPD="/var/qmail/bin/qmail-smtpd" TCP_CDB="/etc/tcprules.d/tcp.smtp.cdb" HOSTNAME=`hostname` VCHKPW="/home/vpopmail/bin/vchkpw" REQUIRE_AUTH=1 exec /usr/bin/softlimit -m 12000000 \ /usr/bin/tcpserver -v -R -H -l ns2.myserver.net -x $TCP_CDB -c "$MAXSMTPD" \ -u "$QMAILDUID" -g "$NOFILESGID" yyy.yyy.yyy.yyy smtp \ $SMTPD $VCHKPW /bin/true 2>&1 rajesh --------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Qmailtoaster is sponsored by Vickers Consulting Group (www.vickersconsulting.com) Vickers Consulting Group offers Qmailtoaster support and installations.
