Does anyone know if there are legitimate mailers that connect and send before the answering host completes it's smtp 220 greeting? The reason I ask is that the qpsmtpd project has an option enabled by default that drops inbound connections if they send too soon. I'm not sure if this is possible or desirable with sendmail as the front end but I'd like to know if it is always spam senders that do this and the people on this list probably have as much experience with broken-but-legitimate mailer behavior as anyone...
On a side note, qpsmtpd is an smtp receiver in perl that can be used as a proxy or as the front end for qmail or postfix systems that has hooks to do the same things that MimeDefang does. It also provides a milter interface that in theory would let you run MimeDefang on qmail or postfix systems but I don't think anyone has tested it. (http://smtpd.develooper.com/) I've been watching the project because it will be included in the next version of SMEserver (http://contribs.org/modules/news/) which is a 'server appliance' linux distribution that is handy for small/remote offices. -- Les Mikesell [EMAIL PROTECTED] _______________________________________________ NOTE: If there is a disclaimer or other legal boilerplate in the above message, it is NULL AND VOID.
