Does anyone have any experience with the POP before SMTP relay package from Cobalt on a Qube 2? Just wondering if there are any possible issues/conflicts to watch out for. tp://ftp.cobaltnet.com/pub/contrib/binaries/Qube2-POP-before-Relay-1.2-4 .pkg Lawrence
It's pretty straight forward and easy to setup and use. However, there is a bug (I don't think it's fixed in the above package) that was discussed recently on this list where unauthorized users can gain relay privileges by telneting to port 25 and entering a certain sequence of commands. Several solutions were offered (check the archives for the last month or two). Also, I think that the package may install an earlier version of qpopper than is used by the fully patched OS release 4. It may be that my memory is faulty from lack of sleep, but I think there was a security issue with the earlier version of qpopper.
