I kinda did an overhaul to get this working on my server. The thing
with smtp-auth is that it is NOT required. The smtp-auth feature only
comes into play when the mail client requests it. So if you can try
relaying mail from a network that is not in your tcp.smtp file then it
should deny relaying. If you kick in the smtp-auth then you should be
able to relay from that machine.
I have not found any logging for smtp-auth. However if you enable
logging in the vckpw module then it will show up in the maillog. I have
never setup the smtp-auth using xinetd or inetd either.
When I was testing my smtp-auth setup I renamed the patched qmail-smtpd
to qmail-smtpd-auth and then spawned a tcpserver on an unreserved port
so that I could play with it for awhile without having it in production.
>From what I gather it looks like your xinetd configuration looks OK. I
saw that you are running the qmail-smtpd as the vpopmail user so I don't
see a reason why it would be unable to authenticate. That also shows me
that you really don't need to set your vchkpw module setuid ("chmod a+s
vchkpw" is not required)

Nope, I just dont get it, if the patch was added, shouldnt it even give
me an
error, I mean I know its patched or that at least something happend,
because
the qmail-smtpd file is bigger then before. I just think I would at
least get
an error
