Hi,

just because i really dislike spam!
There is a qmail patch around. http://qmail.area.com/qmailqueue-patch which is needed by several antispam scripts. My question: is this patch already built in 5.1.2? Or do i have to patch it by myself?

The license for qmail only allows distributions of binaries built from unpatched source. So qmail in 5.1.2 does not contain the qmailqueue patch.

But in any case, the mail configuration in SME 5.1.2 does not use qmail as the SMTP daemon, it uses obtuse-smtpd. And obtuse smtpd does have some anti-spam capabilities. Here is the blurb from my contrib module which enables those capabilities:

rpm -qivp ftp://ftp.e-smith.org/pub/e-smith/contrib/CharlieBrady/RPMS/noarch/\
e-smith-obtuse-smtpd-maps-0.1.1-02.noarch.rpm
Name        : e-smith-obtuse-smtpd-maps    Relocations: (not relocateable)
Version     : 0.1.1                             Vendor: (none)
Release     : 02                            Build Date: Fri 02 Mar 2001 04:01:09

Install date: (not installed)               Build Host: lamington.ottawa.e-smith.com
Group       : Networking/Daemons            Source RPM: e-smith-obtuse-smtpd-maps-0.1.1-02.src.rpm
Size        : 9882                             License: GPL
Packager    : e-smith developers
Summary     : MAPs support for Obtuse SMTPD mail filter
Description :
e-smith server enhancement to configure Obtuse SMTPD to provide anti-relay capabilities using the MAPS lists from mail-abuse.org.

To enable use of the filters, set the service properties you want:

/sbin/e-smith/db configuration setprop smtpd DUL block
/sbin/e-smith/db configuration setprop smtpd RSS block
/sbin/e-smith/db configuration setprop smtpd RBL block

then update the filters of smtpd:

/sbin/e-smith/signal-event email-update

Note that the MAPS lists from mail-abuse.org are no longer freely available, so you will have to modify this module to make use of other blacklist services.
