First, someone tell me if I've completely misunderstood the instructions,
and the following was a bad string of commands to run...

# groupadd tofmipd
# useradd tofmipd -g tofmipd -s /nonexistent
# tmda-ofmipd -R pop3://mail.kelvind.com -f -p mail.kelvind.com:8025

...once I'd done so, I could (in another terminal window) telnet
mail.kelvind.com 8025 and it would connect. But telling Outlook to use port
8025 (and now also use authentication) failed to connect and send mail.

The things that my TMDA, tmda-cgi and sendmail environment doesn't do, that
I'd like to add:

 1) Have nothing for me to do if someone logs into tmda.cgi and clicks "Yes,
sign me up!" Right now, I have to do the sendmail virtuser modification for
them.

 2) Arrange it so if I send email to someone with Outlook, they're
automatically whitelisted (or the reply-to is tagged, or whatever). Right
now, there is nothing going on with the outgoing filter.

 3) Allow the vacation auto-response to work at the same time as TMDA works.
That is, if an incoming message passes through all the TMDA flaming hoops,
and is about to be delivered to my inbox, vacation informs my friend(s) that
I'm away. Ideally, I'd like to be able to use the Usermin "Enable Vacation"
button to turn it on, but right now it seems that vacation and TMDA are
mutually exclusive (errors looping).

Theoretically, #2 can be achieved, if I can figure out how to get
tmda-ofmipd working. I know it's beyond me, but I can't tell HOW FAR beyond
me it is. Do I need to figure out one more detail, or eighteen?

But if I understand it right, #1 is best achieved by using Qmail. So I'm
wondering about the viability/danger of running sendmail on one IP and qmail
on another IP (on the same RH Linux server).

Advice?
