Thanks, HyperAxe. That fixed my immediate problem... Now it actually tries
to authenticate when I roam... which is exactly what I wanted. :-)
The new problem is with authentication. It rejects whatever
username/password combo that I put in... I'm guessing that relates with my
failure to configure my qmail-smtpd/run script correctly.
.
.
.
exec /usr/local/bin/softlimit -m 2000000 \
/usr/local/bin/tcpserver -v -R -l "$LOCAL" -x /etc/tcp.smtp.cdb -c
"$MAXSMTPD" \
-u "$QMAILDUID" -g "$NOFILESGID" 0 25 /var/qmail/bin/qmail-smtpd \
/var/qmail/bin/auth_smtp /usr/bin/true 2>&1
the entire contents of the control directory (except ldappassword) is set to
chmod 644
ldappassword is set to chmod 640 and chown'ed to root:qmail, so it should
still be able to read it, right?
for kicks, i brought up ethereal and did a packet trace on the loopback
interface to see if the LDAP queries were being sent to the ldap svr or
not.. (qmail and ldap are running on the same machine). When outlook
express tries to smtp relay through the server, it doesn't issue an LDAP
query, and outlook express issues an authentication error... but when it
gets to the pop3 attempt, an LDAP query is sent (as would be expected)
so my suspicions are that either
a) auth_smtp is not being called from qmail-smtpd/run correctly, or
b) auth_smtp doesn't have access to the control files
Any ideas as to how I can fix this problem? Again, I'm pretty new to qmail,
so its likely that I'm just overlooking something blantantly obvious to
anyone else subscribed to this mailing list.
Thanks,

Hi Jason,
I'm not sure if I got you right, but if you want to use your mail server
outside your LAN, the most common setup would be in such a way that all
PCs inside your LAN can send emails without SMTP AUTH but outside your
LAN, SMTP AUTH would be required. Try something like this in your
tcp.smtp file:
a.b.c:allow,RELAYCLIENT=""
:allow,SMTPAUTH=""
Hope this helps.

Subject: smtp auth
Hi. I'm kind of new to qmail, so my question probably sounds pretty
elementary.
I have a qmail-ldap server setup. Right now it only relays off of my
local
subnet (which I refer to below as a.b.c.) as per the instructions in the
/etc/tcp.smtp file
I want to implement SMTP AUTH so that I can roam outside my LAN. I
changed my supervise/qmail-smtpd/run file from this:
QMAILDUID=`id -u qmaild`
NOFILESGID=`id -g qmaild`
MAXSMTPD=`head -1 /var/qmail/control/concurrencyincoming`
LOCAL=`head -1 /var/qmail/control/me`
#some irrevelant if statements removed from email
exec /usr/local/bin/softlimit -m 2000000 \
/usr/local/bin/tcpserver -v -R -l "$LOCAL" -x /etc/tcp.smtp.cdb -c
"$MAXSMTPD" \
-u "$QMAILDUID" -g "$NOFILESGID" 0 25 /var/qmail/bin/qmail-smtpd
2>&1
to this, because of the text written on life with qmail-ldap, section
13.2:
#everything unchanged except for this last line of code:
exec /usr/local/bin/softlimit -m 2000000 \
/usr/local/bin/tcpserver -v -R -l "$LOCAL" -x /etc/tcp.smtp.cdb -c
"$MAXSMTPD" \
-u "$QMAILDUID" -g "$NOFILESGID" 0 25 /var/qmail/bin/qmail-smtpd
/var/qmail/bin/auth_smtp /usr/bin/true 2>&1
then I modified the /etc/tcp.smtp from this:
a.b.c.:allow,RELAYCLIENT=""
:deny
to this:
a.b.c.:deny
I've also tried variations of this, like
a.b.c.:allow,RELAYCLIENT="",SMTPAUTH=""
:deny
but whatever I do to attempt to solve this problem either leads me wide
open
for relaying, or doesn't even let me send the auth credentials to begin
with. Can someone please tell me the proper way of going around this
problem?
Thanks,
-- Jason
