Hi Timothy,
Looks like no-one answered this... orphan message. Here
goes,
Hmm, I don't get this problem. Perhaps you're putting the -B
option too late (the arguments are - from the man page)
tcpserver [ opts] host port prog
Just to test this I tried
tcpserver -B 'pwd is ' ip_address 999 pwd
then telnetted to port 999 on the ip_address which gave the
expected result (you may also need -R, -H and -l options to
avoid certain lookups, or the associated delays where these
will fail).
cheers,
Andrew.

Subject: Q: tcpserver use of -B
Hello,
I have read through the qmail list and check all the documentation
that I could find... but I still do not know how to use the -B option
of tcpserver. I have tried -B/<path to filename> which just prints
the /<path to filename on the line preceeding the 220 FCN-hostname
line. I have tried -B"Welcome to my mail system ", but I get error
messages in /var/adm/messages concerning unable to print banner.
So... what have others used... I am using this because:
-B banner: Write banner to the network immediately after each connection is
made. tcpserver writes banner before looking up $TCPREMOTEHOST, before
looking up $TCPREMOTEINFO, and before checking cdb. This feature can be used
to reduce latency in protocols where the client waits for a greeting from
the server.
I believe that I am having some latency between another system that
is using my qmail server as a smart relay... and I think the other
systems (Win2K, yuck...) is causing deferrals in its own mail. Maybe
I am off track and someone with experience with relaying for Win2K
SMTP service can let me know their experiences. Thank you.
