@Eric: I don't know what rblsmtpd is, but I went ahead and installed
spamdyke. I've got pretty much everything in /etc/spamdyke.conf commented
out for now.

OK, I'm sold; I'll use SMTP-AUTH instead of POP-before-SMTP. I can
authenticate from inside or outside the network, using SMTP-AUTH in either
PLAIN or LOGIN mode. CRAM-MD5 is apparently not implemented (yet).
I can only relay when I connect from inside the network. Attempting to
relay from outs
@Shane: I installed the latest version of vpopmail. I notice that your uid
and gid match, whereas mine are not only not 89, they are also different
from each other. As for the virtual domain thing, I'm not sure exactly what
'virtual domain' means in terms of qmail/vpopmail. My domain is a virtu

I used the README and INSTALL files that came with vpopmail to set it up.

Meh. Also unfortunate is the fact that CRAM-MD5 doesn't work... I get "502

Ah, here's a little bit of progress. I gave ownership of vchkpw to
root:vchkpw, and setuid on it:
%chown root:vchkpw /home/vpopmail/bin/vchkpw
%chmod 4711 /home/vpopmail/bin/vchkpw
Now I authenticate while using SMTP-AUTH... which is great, since it's more
secure than the roaming users thing.
Thanks for the reply, Shane.
Yes, roaming users is a POP-before-SMTP scheme that is supposed to write the
IP address of the authenticated user to /home/vpopmail/etc/tcp.smtp, thus
explicitly allowing mail coming from that IP to be relayed. A cronjob
removes the entry after a set period of time, t
Hello all,
I'm having a problem with qmail + vpopmail that I am at my wit's end with,
on a mailserver running Slackware.
This mailserver is also our webserver. We use Apache; the primary domain is
my dad's and my domain is a virtual host. There aren't any issues with DNS,
or with A records... o
