The problem is that there's exactly *zero* benefit to writing this
code. There are, as far as I know, no qmtpd's running anywhere
on the Internet. So a qmail-remote that was about to talk it would
help no one. Only if people started to implement qmtpd would the
qmail-remote actually start to have a benefit.
So, you need someone big to be a sugar daddy, and implement it. Like
anybody listed near the head of http://www.qmail.org/top.html .
Either that, or a bunch of people on the list need to implement qmtpd
(which is trivial given Dan's daemontools)
In fact, just to make people's lives easier, here are the files you need:
http://www.qmail.org/qmtpd-service.tar.gz
cd to /service and untar that file. Bang, you've got a qmtpd server.
If I can get twenty people to implement it, AND insert an MX record
for their qmtpd with one of the following priorities, then I'll commit
to implementing a qmail-remote that also talks QMTP.
12801, 12817, 12833, 12849, 12865, ..., 13041
Sample dns records follow in BIND format:
A.EXAMPLE.COM IN MX 12801 A.EXAMPLE.COM
B.EXAMPLE.COM IN MX 12801 A.EXAMPLE.COM
and in djbdns format:
@crynwr.com::pdam.crynwr.com:12801
Send me private email when you've got it working. Twenty people isn't
a lot, is it? If I can't get twenty people to implement qmtpd,
there's no point in having a qmtpc.
