No. It will, for sure, not be useful. ,----- [ man qmail-smtpd ] | [...] | Exception: If the environment variable RELAYCLIENT is | set, qmail-smtpd will ignore rcpthosts, and will | append the value of RELAYCLIENT to each incoming | recipient address. | [...] `----- Setting RELAYCLIENT to something different than an empty string is only useful when one KNOWS what he/she does.

This whole wrapper-stuff should not be necessary. If tcpserver sets RELAYCLIENT due to .cdb or SQL-lookup it'll be passed to qmail-smtpd. qmail-smtpd than will allow relaying even w/o SMTP-Auth. I'm running a SMTP which offers SMTP-Auth and POP3-b4-SMTP and it works w/o any wrappers at all. The SMTP-Auth patch simply sets RELAYCLIENT for qmail-smtpd /WHEN/ someone authenticated successful, if not the formerly set RELAYCLIENT (passed as ENV-var from tcpserver, when set) is not reset when authentication fails. @Joel: How about this: Copy your current qmail-smtpd invocation, remove all the 'qmail-smtpd foo bar bla' stuff and replace it with a simply '/usr/bin/env'. Make the tcpserver listen on port 26. Prepend an environment clearing 'env' call. Start the stuff on command line. It can be something similar to this: env -i PATH=/var/qmail/bin:/usr/local/bin tcpserver -vRX \ 0 26 /usr/bin/env (plus adding the stuff necessary for tcpserver reading the database for potentially set environment vars like RELAYCLIENT) Than connect to this server from a client-IP that should be set to "relaying allowed" (e.g. by formerly executed POP3 authentication): telnet $SERVER 26 You should see a line with PATH=... and some TCPREMOTExxx and TCPLOCALxxx lines. Additionally you should see a line 'RELAYCLIENT='. If this is there and your qmail-smtpd invocation looks up the same database for possible RELAYCLIENT settings try this: telnet $SERVER 35 EHLO _ MAIL FROM:<> RCPT TO:<[EMAIL PROTECTED]> QUIT If this fails: please post the error you get, your qmail-smtpd startup script and the result of above 'env'-test. -- Best regards Peter Palmreuther Boob's Law: You always find something in the last place you look.
