hi guys,
we are going to use qpsmtpd in a commercial software package we are
currently developing.
we decided to use qpsmtpd because of the flexible perl plugin interface and
the options it has already.
though one pretty good reason was that it's able to use milter filters for
mailscanning; that is especially in our interest as we want to use
mimedefang without the need to use sendmail (which would be a pretty worse
idea on a mailgateway).
now we began trying out what qpsmtpd was able to and after a look into the
milter plugin, we noticed that it's only able to communicate over tcp/ip
with the milter plugin; though mimedefang is only able to communicate with
the mta over a local socket file.
anyway, i'm currently writing a small patch file to make the milter plugin
be able to connect to local socket files, and further we are going to report
our experiences with qpsmtpd and mimedefang to this mailing list.
is this in a global interest?
regards, johannes russek
