-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 See this fantastic (and free) patch to qmail by Sam Varshavchik <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> - plus lots of hints on using it to block spammers. http://www.geocities.com/SiliconValley/Peaks/5799/qmail-uce.html Download from http://www.geocities.com/SiliconValley/Peaks/5799/qmail-uce.tgz This patch is also available in the RPM format, which has been built on a RedHat 5.2 i386 system. For more details, see http://www.geocities.com/SiliconValley/Peaks/5799/qmail-uce-rpm.html. More about this This is not a separate set of utilities that are installed as add-ons to Qmail. This is a set of patches that modifies the stock Qmail 1.03 source code to add sophisticated anti-spam features. Qmail is a bare-bones, basic MTA. It serves its purpose well, but lacks several popular anti-spam features. Over time, a plethora of patches have been released for qmail. The purpose of this patch is twofold: Provide a single patch consisting of all the popular anti-spam patches out there and provide advanced, programmable filtering during the SMTP transaction, instead of having Qmail accept the message, then filtering it afterwards. This is accomplished by using either procmail, or maildrop, to filter mail during SMTP, before mail is accepted for delivery. Requirements You will need to obtain the following packages in order to install these patches: Qmail 1.03 from http://www.qmail.org. Tcpserver 0.84 from http://pobox.com/~djb/ucspi-tcp.html. The current version of maildrop from http://www.flounder.net/~mrsam/maildrop/. This is a (GPL licensed) standalone mail filter that these patches integrate into Qmail. If maildrop doesn't work on your system, this patch can use procmail as a substitute. HOWEVER: using maildrop is preferred, it is a much more secure mail filter. Only use procmail if it is absolutely necessary. Furthermore, you must upgrade to procmail 3.11pre7, earlier versions of procmail will NOT work.
