Here's how I did it: 1. Apply the smtp-auth patch found here to qmail: http://members.elysium.pl/brush/qmail-smtpd-auth/ 2. If you use qmail-scanner, apply the qmail-queue patch to qmail and install the scanner. 3. Add the qmail-smtp (qmaild) user to the vchkpw group: usermod -G vchkpw qmaild 4. Here's my supervise script for qmail-smtp that does smtp-auth, qmail-scanner, and rblsmtp: #!/bin/sh QMAILQUEUE="/var/qmail/bin/qmail-scanner-queue.pl" QMAILDUID=`id -u qmaild` NOFILESGID=`id -g qmaild` MAXSMTPD=`cat /var/qmail/control/concurrencyincoming` export QMAILQUEUE exec /usr/local/bin/tcpserver -l 0 -R -H \ -x /home/vpopmail/etc/tcp.smtp.cdb \ -c"$MAXSMTPD" -u"$QMAILDUID" -g"$NOFILESGID" 0 smtp\ /usr/local/bin/rblsmtpd -t 5 -b \ -r blackholes.mail-abuse.org \ -r 'relays.mail-abuse.org:Open relay problem - see <URL:http://www.mail-abuse.org/cgi-bin/nph-rss?%IP%>' \ /var/qmail/bin/qmail-smtpd \ /home/vpopmail/bin/vchkpw \ /bin/true 2>&1 Hope this helps.
