Hi all. I have tried everywhere to get this fixed but have failed (Not even a reply on the program's mailing list) so I am asking you brainy people as a last gasp. :) I am trying to get ASSP ( http://assp.sourceforge.net) setup with a pop before smtp implementation and have come across a few problems. The pop before smtp implementation I am using is: http://popbsmtp.sourceforge.net For this to work I have to tell it what SMTP server I am using so that it can tailor certain bits to it and use certain functions. I told it to use sendmail (can't use ASSP because it doesn't support some commands plus it isn't supported by popbsmtp anyway). Having done this I set it running. the popbsmtp program successfully reads /var/log/maillog and enters the correct IPs into the db file. The problem is that ASSP doesn't seem to be reading the file successfully. There is no mention of it in the ASSP logs (when initializing or at any other time). I THINK the reason may be that the popbsmtp program formats the DB file specifically for sendmail whic may be incompatible wits ASSP but I would expect an error message or something like that in the logs. Has anyone got this working with the above setup or does anyone know another popbsmtp setup that works straight out of the box with ASSP & sendmail. Many thanks Jeff Jones
