[cobalt-users] poprelayd

["Jack Lavender" <jack@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi all,

I have spent a miserable weekend trying to solve a problem with poprelayd.

One of the upgrades to the OS on my RaQ3i changed the maillog output so
that the older version of pop-before-relay would not work.  While I am not
sure of all of the changes in maillog, the phrase "POP login by user" is
now the correct one to match in order to add to the popip
"relaying-is-ok-for-these-ips" database.

When I uninstalled the previous version of the product and put on
RaQ4-RaQ3-POP-before-Relay-1.3pre2.pkg from the cobalt site, nothing
worked.  I discovered by looking at the uninstall script that it did not
modify the /etc/sendmail.cf file, but tried to edit the
/etc/mail/sendmail.cf file.  Well I am slow, so discovering this took a
while....a long while.

To fix this I uninstalled and copied the /etc/sendmail.cf to
/etc/mail/sendmail.cf and installed again, then create a sumbolic link
from /etc/mail.sendmail.cf to /etc/mail/sendmail.cf

This seems to work.

So...I have a few of questions.

1. how to I look at pkg file and figure out what they are doing?
2. am I going to have other problems because of this symbolic link I just
set?
3. how can I tell what version of qpopper is installed?
4. what is a good expiration time to put on the ips in the database?
5. Did I miss a sendmail update that I should have done?
6. am I alone in this?
