[Image] Obtuse smtpd/smtpfwdd, part of the Juniper firewall toolkit ------------------------------------------------------------------------ The smtpd daemon talks the Simple Mail Transfer Protocol (SMTP) with other SMTP daemons to receive mail from them, and saves it into a spool directory for later processing. It is the store portion of an SMTP store and forward proxy. The symbiotic companion program smtpfwdd is used to forward the spooled mail on to its eventual destination. smtpd is invoked from a super-server such as inetd or juniperd. Smtpd/Smtpfwdd are available in source form from the Obtuse systems ftp site, and may be used separatly from Juniper under quite friendly BSD style copyright terms. See the file LICENSE in the distribution. The current stable release is Version 2.0, located at ftp://ftp.obtuse.com/pub/smtpd/smtpd-2.0.tar.gz. There is a patch available to do MAPS RBL style lookups at ftp://ftp.obtuse.com/pub/smtpd/patch-smtpd-2.0-RBL.gz. Documentation is avaialble online with the juniper documentation. See the docs for smtpd as a starting point. Version 2.0 now supports access control rules based on the connecting host, and the smtp envelope. It contains some powerful features for stopping inbound or outbound SPAM. The rules file format is documented here. There are example anti-spam and anti-relaying rules files in the distribution, as well as at ftp.dorkslayers.com ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [Image] Obtuse Systems Corporation Copyright © 1996,1997 - Obtuse Systems Corporation All rights reserved [HelpStop Internet Spam!] Validate this page.
