Hi,

I am sorry if it was discussed before but I post this
question because I found no answer in the DOCS, FAQ,
and mailing list archive.

I run a freeBSD system where security is highest priority.
Normal users reach the machine only through  SSLProxy
channels for WWW and POP access. The users access the
Internet using their various ISPs where they have
dynamic IP numbers. They are authenticated by their
individual SSL certificates.

The requirement would be to allow the users to send
mail to anywhere and to receive mail from anywhere
while atill preventing the machine to became an open relay.

My idea is the following. I'd set up two copies of qmail,
one for incoming, another for outgoing mail. The two copies
of qmail would of course live in entirely different directories.

The first qmail copy would receive mails from anywhere
on port 25 but deliver nowhere but to the localhost.
Users download their mail using POP through an
SSLProxy channel. (Normal unencrypted POP port is disabled
by  tcp wrapper  for anyone except localhost.)

The second qmail copy would work on another port different
from 25 say 26. It would deliver mails to anywhere and
also receive mails from anywhere BUT receive only through
an SSLProxy channel. (Normal unencrypted port 26 would be
disabled by  tcp wrapper  for anyone except localhost.)

Do you think this plan is working and if yes how should
I setup qmail for this? Or is there a better solution
to my problem?

Thanks in advance,
