mailfront
Mail server network protocol front-ends
Bruce Guenter <***@untroubled.org>
Version 1.15
2010-03-31
This is mailfront, a package containing customizeable network front-ends
for mail servers. It contains complete SMTP, QMQP, QMTP, and POP3
front-ends as well as an authentication module for IMAP. The mail
delivery front-ends also contain internal address filtering features.
Two SMTP back-ends are provided. One delivers mail to qmail-queue,
mimicking most of the behavior of qmail-smtpd, with the addition of
support for SMTP AUTH. The other rejects all SMTP commands if
$SMTPREJECT is set, and execs its command line otherwise (in order to
run the above program).
A mailing list has been set up to discuss this and other packages.

Development versions of mailfront are available via git at:
http://bruce-guenter.dyndns.org/git/mailfront.git
Requirements:
- bglibs version 1.101
- cvm version 0.81
Installation:
- Build the sources by running "make".
- After the package has been compiled, run "make install" as root.
Configuration:
- To take advantage of the SMTP AUTH features, make sure you have a CVM
authentication program (some are included with the cvm package itself).
- Run a CVM authentication module to provide the AUTH feature.
Example: To run cvm-vmailmgr as a daemon:
exec /usr/local/bin/softlimit -m 9000000 \
/usr/local/bin/cvm-vmailmgr /tmp/.cvm-vmailmgr 2>&1
- Configure your mail system to use the SMTP back-end with the
appropriate environment variables.
Example using tcpserver (highly recommended):
#!/bin/sh
QMAILDUID=`id -u qmaild`
NOFILESGID=`id -g qmaild`
MAXSMTPD=`head -1 /var/qmail/control/concurrencyincoming`
if [ -z "$QMAILDUID" -o -z "$NOFILESGID" -o -z "$MAXSMTPD" ]; then
echo $0: QMAILDUID, NOFILESGID, or MAXSMTPD is unset
exit 1
fi
exec \
/usr/local/bin/envdir /etc/smtpfront \
/usr/local/bin/softlimit -m 2000000 \
/usr/local/bin/tcpserver -v -R -H \
-l "`head -1 /var/qmail/control/me`" -x /etc/tcp.smtp.cdb \
-c "$MAXSMTPD" -u "$QMAILDUID" -g "$NOFILESGID" 0 25 \
/usr/local/bin/smtpfront-qmail 2>&1
/etc/smtpfront/CVM_SASL_PLAIN:
cvm-local:/tmp/.cvm-vmailmgr
Example using xinetd with TCP Wrappers:
/etc/xinetd.d/smtp:
# default: on
# description: smtp
service smtp
{
disable = no
flags = REUSE NAMEINARGS
socket_type = stream
protocol = tcp
wait = no
user = qmaild
server = /usr/sbin/tcpd
server_args = /var/qmail/bin/tcp-env -R /usr/local/sbin/smtpfront-wrapper
log_on_success += USERID
log_on_failure += USERID
}
/usr/local/sbin/smtpfront-wrapper:
#!/bin/sh
CVM_SASL_PLAIN=cvm-local:/tmp/.cvm-unix
export CVM_SASL_PLAIN
CVM_SASL_LOGIN=cvm-local:/tmp/.cvm-unix
export CVM_SASL_LOGIN
exec /usr/local/bin/smtpfront-qmail 2>> /tmp/smtpfront-errs.txt
