You can more-or-less run anything from a wrapper if you don't daemonize it and kick it off on-demand from inetd. Essentially, you have inetd.conf configured with a stanza that - upon connection attempt - launches an instance of your desired program (postfix in this case), if and only if the hosts.allow rules are satisfied. This works nicely for smaller installations, but is very slow in high arrival rate environments because each connection attempt incurs the full startup overhead of the program you're running. _______________________________________________ freebsd-stable@freebsd.org mailing list https://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-stable To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-stable-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
