I took your advice and have since persued relay-ctrl as my solution to
my SMTP-AUTH problem, it seemed to have the features I wanted (SMTP
after POP/IMAP suthentication), thank you for help. BUT, it doesn't work
all that great, there are quite a few holes in it. Atleast it didn't
properly install on my bsd box, specifically the /etc/relay-ctrl
directory and it never wrote to /var/spool/relay-ctrl. In fact with that
aside, that must be the reason why it wasn't doing much controlling at
all, it let all my SMTP traffic through before I authenticated as a
test. I followed the README to a t and configured my courier IMAP too
by the docs (which aren't much by the way). This app does EXACTLY what I
want... but as you can see I'm having issues. Anyone have a "Life with
relay-ctrl" or another app to qmail that does the same ?.
