I finished beta testing a new version of vchkpw. download http://www.inter7.com/qmail/ look in middle of page or down farther in email for direct download file. It is modified to support this one new feature: If a virtual domain user authenticates for pop access.. the smtp server is open to relay from that IP address for one hour. (defaults are not easily changed, must be programmer) When a user authenticates via pop.. the users IP address and current local time is recorded in a file. If the IP address is already in the file the old entry is deleted and the new entry is added. (Thus providing one more hour of relaying support). This package depends on the following Open Software packages: 1) qmail-1.03 off www.qmail.org authors home page. 2) tcpcontrol.. (ucspXXXstupid stuff) off the qmail authors home page. 3) vchkpw-3.4.2kj off http://www.inter7.com/qmail/vchkpw-3.4.2kj.tar.gz The documentation totally sucks. But the code works. Even if the required files are not present on the machine. Hopefully we can update the documentation so that it's alot easier to setup. Next version of vchkpw from inter7 site will support a "config;make;make install" format. Version after this will support the vchkpw authors new version that uses cdb hash files for fast lookup (we have noticed that virtual domains with less that 8K users have no problem with the 3.4.1 version). However, it's always better to make things more efficent. Hopefully sites with 1 million emails per virtual domain will work efficently. Next version after that will incorroprate more efficent use of virtual domain pop and alias/forward accounts for more than 8K users. Heh Heh. I don't think this all will get done for free, but hell, we are going to try. If you want to contribute email me back. Last thing we are going to try and do is create a distribution with the cool qmail things. Like a qmail base, tcpserver, ezmlm, autoresponder, virtual domains, web based admin for domains, web based email interface. I think a killer qmail distribution will send shock waves thru the open source community and get press off the national media outlets. Let's put another nail in microsofts coffin. >From my Mentors conversations, "Revenge is nobel". Anyway.. later, you got the update from inter7 labs. we still have alot to do. but you've got the latest info. BTW: any web authors with good graphic skills who want to help build better free and non capitalistic web interfaces for qmail, which will help destroy the microsoft strangle hold on abusive competition, please email me back and lets combine forces. I personally interviewed with microsoft 9 years ago and decided I didn't want to work in such a combative environment. I enjoy sharing ideas instead of bludgening my fellow developers with humiliation and degradation. So all of you out there who would like to get involved, email me.
