[cobalt-users] fix: problem with POP-before-relay

[Jonas Pasche <jonas@xxxxxxxx>]

hi will, hi everybody on the list,

one of our customers told me that the POP-before-relay package doesn't work 
on his RaQ2. i checked it and found out that poprelayd uses a regexp that 
doesn't understand usernames which contain a minus in it. in this case it 
doesn't write the sender's ip address to the access database, so the user 
is still not able to send mail.

if you have the same problem, open /usr/local/sbin/poprelayd in you 
preferred editor and go to the line

    if ($s =~ /POP login for \"\w+\" at \(.+\) ([0-9\.]+)/)  {

which is in sub scanaddr. then change the part with the "\w+\" into 
"[\w\-]+\"; poprelayd then accepts login names with a minus, too. i'm not 
too familiar with regexps, but maybe it's a good idea to add a dot, too 
(..."[\w\-\.]+\"...) because dots are allowed in usernames, too. the 
underdash is part of \w, i think.

regards, jonas.
