hi Murat look for socat ( i took socat-1.4.0.3.tar from sf.net ) socat reads from a tcp-port and writes to a socket and vice versa.
here my configs example all running on ultrasparc with solaris 9: sendmail: INPUT_MAIL_FILTER(`mimedefang', `S=inet:[EMAIL PROTECTED], F=T, T=S:60s;R:60s;E:5m') md on "otherhost" acts with /var/spool/MIMEDefang/mimedefang.sock and running socat with socat TCP-LISTEN:19025,fork UNIX:/var/spool/MIMEDefang/mimedefang.sock just befor starting md. i did modify the start-script - also stop the socat proc. this works perfectly for me since last year. Have a nice day. best regards hans -- On Thu, Mar 03, 2005 at 01:02:33AM +0200, Murat wrote: > > Hello, > > I have a FC3 mail server running MD 2.51.
