Hi, Does anybody know where I can dowload an rpm for Qmail that works with SuSE 6.2? I currently have Qmail set up on my box, but have concerns about relaying (I've tested it http://www.abuse.net/relay.html). Most relays bounce, but one test seems to get through. I'm wondering if I misconfigured it when I compiled it, and am hoping that a properly compiled SuSE rpm would fix. this.

Did the test get thru or just not get rejected. IIRC, qmail does
authentication after the incoming mail is accepted by the SMTP
server. Attempts to relay are not rejected outright, they are just
dropped in the bit bucket.

5 of 6 tests were rejected outright, while the 6th was not rejected (according to the test page, this doesn't necessarily mean that relaying was permitted, just that the attempt didn't bounce. The lack of certainty is due to the page authors desire not to send test spam). I'm hoping that since I followed the default install, and that qmail by default doesn't allow relays, that this was a false positive relay.

qmail (note: lowercase q) denies relaying by default unless it's explicitly
enabled. Relaying is allowed if RELAYCLIENT happens to be in the
environment of qmail-smtpd.
REALYCLIENT can be set a couple of ways: via tcpd (tcpwrappers) or tcpserver
(latter is preferred; it's a neat program from the ucspi-tcp suite also
written by Dan Bernstein). I don't know what any SuSE qmail rpm looks like,
but chances are relaying is not enabled by either of these methods, or at
all for that matter. If it is that would be a security no-no and someone at
SuSE would have to be kicked. ;-)
Grab the qmail source from http://pobox.com/~djb/qmail.html and read through
the docs (namely the FAQ) that comes with it. A lot of questions are
answered there. Also check out Dave Sill's Life With qmail
(http://web.infoave.net/~dsill/lwq.html), an all-around excellent resource.
