Dear Janno!
I have had integrated this path some time ago (it was a small discussion thread which you can find at http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/msg14128.html ). The IP address could be set correctly which was good.
BUT together with the IP Address, it always changed the HELO information to the
sending-domain name.
For example: the IP-addresses' DNS-name (which it can be reverse looked-up) is mailserver.mydomain.com, and
the server sends mail for [EMAIL PROTECTED], then the patch changes the HELO information to "HELO
customerdomain.com" instead "HELO mailserver.mydomain.com". Of course, a reverse lookup to
"customerdomain.com" does not match my servers' IP.
After one or two days my server got listed at http://cbl.abuseat.org/. After
that happened twice, I removed the patch again and no issue ever again related
to that thing happened.
That's why I recommend modifying. Unfortunately I did never have time to do so.
When repaired I think that this path could really improve QT's functionallity.
Best regards,
Johannes

I would be very interested in ip address patch since I probably be
moving to 2-3 ip system soon. Of course using iptables to block all
other ports is solution for now.

Rene,
The QmailToaster does not include every single patch out there, it
only includes the best of breed combined with the most critical for
Qmail to be used in today's Internet. There is no reason why this
patch wasn't included, aside from the fact that it wasn't requested
very often.
As I rearchitect the current setup to the new binary distribution, I
will have time to revisit these patches and see if there are some
patches to consider.
The 1.4 branch is going slowly, but steady. I don't want to screw up
the upgrade for people, so I am trying to map things out and implement
things in the right way.
In the meantime 1.3 branch will stay frozen with only upstream
software changes happening.
Thanks,
Erik

On the Qmail.org website I read this:
Markus Stumpf has a pair of qmail patches, one to cause qmail-smtpd
to log
its disposition of mail, and another to convince qmail-remote to use
a fixed
IP address other than the one you get without binding to an address.
Andy
Repton has ported the fixed IP address patch to qmail 1.03. I try to
convince some developers to recompile with this patch included, so that
outgoing SMTP is on a defined IP address, especially important on
machines
with more IP addresses.
The question is if there were any technical reasons why this patch
was not
included in qmail-toaster? Any security issues that would have
discouraged
to include it?
