I have a local network (PC Win9x) and a qmail server (Linux) both connected to the Net.
I want to allow only the local network to use the qmail SMTP server to relay mail.
This to avoid spam relaying...
So I read the "Selective relaying with tcpserver and qmail-smtpd" documentation but I
don't want to use the ucspi-tcp solution for two reasons:
- I run qmail as a standalone daemon
- The system is a Linux Debian one so it is using inetd, and to avoid
incompatibilities with this distribution I don't want to use solutions that are not
officialy supported...
Is there another solution ???
I seriously consider to stop using qmail. As there are too many add-ons I find qmail
has limited functionalities by its own: It is the second time I have a problem and I
am getting disappointed... :(
Here was my first problem: I have a callback connection to the Net so I wanted qmail
to send mails (ie to empty its queue) only every half hour to limit the costs. But
that is not possible except via a add-on/patch once again... :(
It's a shame because qmail is nice on other points like security, control files or
aliases.
What about qmail 2.0 with more built-in functionnalities ??? ;)
ECO.
