Hi all,
I have some doubts about the qmail system. I've read the FAQ's and
"Life with
qmail" and others documentations, but I didn't get to figure out
somethings.
I'm a begginner in this subject and I count on you to help me.
I installed the qmail package in a freeBSD box, but initially it
doesn't working.
So, I'd like to know if qmail system always needs additional
programs to
authenticate users and delivery messages like a checkpassword and
safecat programs.
Are there others programs to do them?
I would like to figure out how checkpassword and safecat work.
My doubts are!
How does checkpassword catch the messages from the maildir mailbox
and delivery
to the message to qmail-pop3 or the client?
How does safecat put in the messages into the maildir mailbox?
I know that safecat catchs the messages from the standard input and
write
into the maildir mailbox, but how are this messages put in the std input
and how
does safecat catch them?
Regards Cleiton.
