Most of his software is not public domain. (Several of his math and crypto libraries are, but to my knowledge none of the networking software is). First, there's a copyright statement in the README file of each package. Second: http://cr.yp.to/distributors.html Daemontools is explicitly mentioned here-- he licenses the current version to be distributed (in package form, with a specific MD5 checksum) until the beginning of 2007. Third: http://cr.yp.to/softwarelaw.html In other words, DJB has the right to control distribution of his software and he specifically asserts that right. David

He periodically updates those dates. I think the point is that he doesn't want prerelease versions of his software distributed forever-- but if you check out http://web.archive.org/web/*/http://cr.yp.to/distributors.html you'll see that those dates have been pushed forward several times.

We're using simscan to filter incoming email but I think that misses email generated by our customers and autoresponders. Can it be accomplished by modifying /home/vpopmail/etc/tcp.smtp ? How are other qmail users handling this? i'm also interested in this feature. Have you found how to filter outgoing messages? for incoming messages I use maildrop you can still use simscan. the trick is to make your customers send their mail through simscan. [snip] I'm not sure that spam-filtering outgoing mail is a good idea-- I've never run into an implementation that doesn't annoy legitimate customers sending legitimate mail-- and simscan is, as far as I know, specifically designed not to allow it. If RELAYCLIENT is set, simscan checks for viruses but it doesn't run SpamAssassin. Am I missing something? David

Now if only M$ would make it the default or easier than going into advanced settings when adding an account (and also the port 587 option). why use port 587? the 'use secure connection' is right there, and if you're doing any passing of authentication tokens across the wire, you should be encrypting it. I have my clients use port 587 whenever possible, because I use RBLs on port 25 that block some dynamic address ranges. Is there a better practice for this? David

Re: [vchkpw] delivering a mail to every account
There was a discussion recently about delivering a message to every account on the server, and vpopbull was mentioned. One weakness of vpopmail seems to relate to users who forward all of their mail off-site-- it appears that vpopbull messages will still be delivered to their local mailbox, instead of being forwarded. Is there a work-around? Thanks, David Chaplin-Loebell
