Re: mail server recommendation
I remember I've read something about it in their homepage (they have a
rather long list of extensions ;-) but what i used is something that I
actually hand coded.
its pretty simple :
you use inetd (maybe xinetd will also work - haven't tried it, I'm a bit at
a loss concerning it's configuration) to set a script of your own, being run
on every pop3 connection - after the user has been authenticated, but before
the actual pop3 sesion has started. this script will the edit
/etc/hosts.allow and add a line to match the client's IP address, with
'setenv RELAYCLIENT'. this environment variable tells Qmail that smtp
connections from this IP are allowed.
then all you have to do is run a cron job that cleans up stale RELAYCLIENTs
every now and then.
I think I may even have the original scripts lying around somewhere (haven't
used Qmail for almost half a year now :-)
