Hi,
I have written an RFC 2645 On-Demand Mail Relay (ODMR) / Authenticated TURN (ATRN) server for vpopmail/vchkpw mail servers running qmail. It has a working title of ``vodmr''. It is written in perl and is available under the same licence as perl itself. It's available for download from http://romana.now.ie/#vodmr The current release is version 0.8, released 6th September 2002. It should be considered as beta software. It has been tested with fetchmail 5.9.11/5.9.13 and XATRN 1.2.2 ODMR clients and qmail-smtpd 1.03, sendmail 8.9.3/8.11.3 and MDaemon 5.0.7 SMTP servers. It hasn't yet been subjected to widespread public testing. This is a request for beta testers to download it, try it out and let me know how you get along with the program itself and its documentation. For the program to work, you will need: 1. A working vpopmail/vchkpw using qmail. 2. Perl 5 with MIME::Base64, Mail::Header, CDB_File and Digest::HMAC_MD5 modules 3. Maildir mailboxes 4. A UCSPI-TCP server (tcpserver is ideal) or inetd / xinetd Some things to note; Requires vpopmail (and qmail) Uses your existing qmail configuration files No changes are needed to vpopmail or qmail Implements CRAM-MD5 challenge-response authentication (required by RFC) Uses either comment or password field of vpasswd.cdb for secrets Domains can be setup for ODMR with qmailadmin and/or the vpopmail command line tools Minimal implementation Message bouncing Logs to stderr (the default) or syslog The vodmr server is explicitly not a long running daemon. tcpserver/inetd manage the networking elements, including starting the vodmr daemon to service new connections. vodmr deals only with stdin, stdout and stderr. vodmr does not need to run as root so don't! Run it as your vpopmail user. (It'll complain if you do run it as root) PROBLEM REPORTING If you want to report a problem, submit a patch, a comment or a question please email <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>. Thanks, james -- James Raftery <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
