V2 is running in production for more than a year now (not every release - 
but the most) - 2.0.1_RC0.4.0x  is the most fast release ever build!

>I would like to know the state of SSL/TLS as well.

I'm running TLS/SSL on windows without any problems. We have to stay on 
the modules IO::Socket::SSL and Net::SSLeay - and yes it could be 
possible, that some mail servers are unable to talk to these modules (SSL) 
- and yes this could be OS dependend.

This is implemented for TLS in V2 since 05.2008 !

ASSP only injects the 250-STARTTLS offer in the EHLO answer (if configured 
to do so) - if the remote MTA (client) does not support TLS (sends 
STARTTLS) - TLS will not be started.
There is no chance to detect if the remote MTA (client) supports TLS or 
not (RFC 4954) - such handshake is not implemented in SMTP - except he is 
sending HELO, in this case ASSP will not offer 250-STARTTLS because this 
peer uses not extended SMTP.
If configured ASSP will also send EHLO instead of HELO to the server, to 
possibly switch the server connection to TLS.

>If the remote sends pipelining, 

PIPELINING is not supported by any ASSP version and the offer 
250-PIPELINING will be removed from the protocol stack by ASSP - also 
CHUNKING and XEXCH50
These SMTP-features are breaking the major logic of ASSP.

>I would like a real port mirror of the MTA.

Disable TLS/SSL and sendEHLO and this will be the case - except CHUNKING, 
PIPELINING and XEXCH50

Thema
[Assp-test] General 2.x questions







Hello. For some time now I have worked on a one command installer for 
ASSP 1.5.x for Mac OS X. It installs all perl modules, dependencies, 
and ASSP.

Myself and one friend have it working. My friend is using it in full 
production sucessfully. I have halted the release waiting for a final 
stable of that branch. I myself ran into SSL/TLS errors that I could 
not resolve.

I am considerig abandoning this in favor of putting the work into 2.x.

What is the general consensus of the 2.x release. Is it mostly safe to 
run in production?

I would like to know the state of SSL/TLS as well. One goal is to have 
ASSP blindly proxy traffic for the remote MTA. Meaning, if the remote 
is not configured for MTA to MTA opportunistic SSL/TLS, then I would 
want ASSP to not add in the features.

If the remote sends pipelining, ASSP would just pass that along. SSL/ 
TLS is nice for those who do not have an MTA that supports it. If the 
MTA does, I would like a real port mirror of the MTA. If I telnet 
direct to the MTA and look at the transaction, I would expect it to be 
identical if ASSP was where I telnetted to, when it forward off to the 
MTA.

If the stability is there, I will start rewriting my installer code to 
handle 2.x installs and updates.

I'm also going to work on a full replacement of the stats pages to use 
rafaelJS for nice, non flash based MRTG style reports on ASSP traffic.

Any pointers on where ASSP 2 is at with regard to being able to be 
used in production are appreciated.

Thoughts on running on Dual CPU 2.0 Ghz PPC, 8GB ram, 4 drive sata 2 
raid with 2x2 stripe/mirror. But I also have postfix, low overhead, 
and dovecot IMAP, which is disk I/O heavy with the amount of mail 
stores I have.
