[vchkpw] rblsmtpd / tcp.smtp rules precedence

2004-01-16 Thread Teixeira (listas)
Another message from Chris Hardie did remember me about an old question
I have.

How can I make tcp.smtp rules be processed BEFORE rblsmtpd, when rblsmtp
is called from tcpserver's qmail-smtpd initialization command?

I mean, some times we find one IP blocked by the RBL systems, and want
to allow it pass, without having to deal with the de-listing problems
(specially when the IPs are not ours).

Any help would be nice. TIA.

Hi,

Add the IP in question to your tcp.smtp file with RBLSMTPD=, that will 
cause tcpserver to by pass the rblsmtpd check.

Regards,

Rick

they already are.  tcpserver doesn't launch prog until it finishes
setting up the environment, doing ident/hostname lookups, etc.  When it
runs prog, tcprules have already been processed.

 I mean, some times we find one IP blocked by the RBL systems, and want
 to allow it pass, without having to deal with the de-listing problems
 (specially when the IPs are not ours).

put RBLSMTPD= in an entry that matches their IP address in your
tcprules file.

http://cr.yp.to/ucspi-tcp/rblsmtpd.html explains that seeing RBLSMTPD
set, and empty, will cause it to ignore that particular address, and
continue as normal.

tcpserver doesn't do any rbl check.  that's what rblsmtpd does.  putting
RBLSMTPD= into your environment for the connection doesn't cause
tcpserver to NOT run rblsmtpd.. it just causes rblsmtpd to continue on
as normal and execute its argument.
