Can some one help me wrap my brain around something?
I've got a mailserver behind a firewall using qmail with the LDAP patches.
The firewall is running the same qmail executable (the LDAP part is fully
enabled and as I type this it suddenly occurs to me that this may be a
security issue, although maybe it would solve the problem I'm trying to solve
right now).
I'd like to patch my smtpd to allow SMTP AUTH on the firewall.
What do I need to do?
I'm thinking that since I have access to the LDAP server from the firewall, I
can validate the users against that. Will it "just work" if I have both the
LDAP patches and the SMTP AUTH patch installed?
Is it a mistake to have an LDAP patched qmail on my firewall?
