Right now I run inetd for qmail-smtpd and qmail-pop3d with hosts.allow for smtp relay controlling. All the stuff I have read says to move to tcpserver, but I have some questions. 1. When tcpserver is setup, do I remove the hosts.allow RELAYCLIENT line, or is it ignored? 2. Does the /var/qmail/users/cdb have anything to do with the /home/vpopmail/etc/tcp.smtp.cdb? 3. Once pop and smtp are handled by tcpserver, how do I control access to Courier-IMAP? 4. Many people have posted problems with tcpserver setup. I am trying to make sense of it, and make it simple, and make a how-to. Are these the correct steps for smtp and pop3 with qmail+vpopmail? Why don't the setup instructions cover this better? ######################## # 1.
