Kit, you're reinventing the wheel!

Thanks for getting in touch, but the attempt below is actually qmail with just the SMTP-AUTH patch. I figure if I can't get 1 patch working, my chances for the rest are pretty low. :}

Yes, there are significant problems with simply merging together a bunch of the qmail patches. It took me quite some time to get all the patches I wanted to play nicely together. Now that it's done, feel free to use it: http://matt.simerson.net/computing/mail/toaster/. Pay particular attention to the "Install Qmail (with a few hacks)" section.

IIRC, your stuff looked good when I was first setting this stuff up but I thought it was overkill for what I was doing. I'm doing more now, so maybe it's time to reevaluate that sentiment.

Bill Shupp also has similar patches that I've also heard work well but are linux oriented where mine focuses on the FreeBSD platform. It wouldn't take too much effort to use my setup on Open/NetBSD but those are down the list for me, after making it work on Darwin. (Mac OS X) :)

Cool. I'll look at it when I have a chance (waaaaaay too much going on right now!) & let you know if I uncover any OpenBSD-specific issues.

Thanks,
-Kit

Tried 0.31 tonight, no luck. Maybe my other patches are interfering? I'll try it at home as the only patch & see how that goes.

2.) Try to run qmail-smtpd as root. Just for testing, but this avoids
    "access denied" to vpasswd.cdb and therefore excludes one possible
    culprit.

Also no luck.

Urgh. Just tried again on my home box, which starts qmail/vpopmail from rc.local instead daemontools. (OpenBSD 3.1, virgin qmail 1.03 + elysium.pl 0.31 auth patch only, vpopmail 5.2.1... D'oh!, okay, vpopmail 5.3.9 now.) I'm back to square one now with relay by IP only, but it sure did fail interestingly for a while. Below is what I was trying to do, I've since reverted back to a working setup so I can send & receive.

(Yes, uid 1001 is vpopmail & gid 1000 is vchkpw.)
