from README.auth: "There is no need to include additionally the hostname in the call."
is this new? .. i've thought there was some time ago some "rumor" about people that haven't added the hostname in the commandline of qmail-smtpd and have had an open relay or so?
Originally, it wasn't a parameter, then it was, and now it isn't. Definitely confusing, and we've tried to point it out in the documentation.
i had some time to figure out why after upgrading to vpopmail-5.4.x first the cram-md5 wasn't working and after upgrading to netqmail-1.05 with toaster-0.6.1 the whole smtp-auth thing wasn't working......
I haven't read Bill's new toaster, but I'm sure he mentions that upgraders need to remove the hostname from their qmail-smptd run file.
As for upgrading vpopmail, anyone who reads the UPGRADE file should easily find this information:
IF USING SMTP AUTH PATCH TO QMAIL-SMTPD
* This release of vpopmail includes fixes for vchkpw that may break
certain SMTP AUTH implementations. If SMTP AUTH fails after
installing vpopmail 5.4.x, you may need to use the
qmail-smtpd-auth-0.4.2 patch included in the contrib directory.* If you do switch to the 0.4.2 SMTP AUTH patch, you may need to update
your qmail-smtpd run file (the first parameter to qmail-smtpd should
now be the path to vchkpw and not the hostname).
The ChangeLog even alludes to it (but should probably mention the UPGRADE file by name):
5.4.0 - released 1-Feb-04
Tom Collins
- Update configure with correct location of vlimits.default.
- Fix typo (ammount) in vmoddomlimits. [882884]
- Don't include $(DESTDIR) when building vpopmailbindir. [884247]
- Mention compatability issues with older SMTP AUTH patches.
[882351]
And, the release notes on SourceForge say:
Finally. The 5.3 development series is stable. Be sure to read the UPGRADE file and various README files if upgrading from a previous version.
