Hi everybody out there,
within my current qmail-authentication patch (0.8) I realized a feature for qmail-remote which was required by some users:
qmail-remote allows now two distinct mechanisms to enable authentication:
* Sender-based authentication: This is triggered by the 'Mail From:' address and can be customized by control/authsenders.
* Target-based authentication: As an extension for control/smtproutes now for a specific route the authentication information can be optionally added.
The last feature is often called a 'smart relay' or 'smart host'. Of course the 'Submisson' is always possible!
Sender-based authentication has precedence over 'relay-based' authentication.
The current version + docs are available on my web site
http://www.fehcom.de/qmail/smtpauth.html
Note: For qmail-smtpd I use now an extensible scheme for the environment variable SMTPAUTH.
These features have been included into my SPAMCONTROL patch (2.7). Users of this patch are encouraged to update ! All new features are now in place and working.
regards.
--eh.
