Topic: Mailfront-Qmail-CVM

[David Stanton]

Yet another stupid question, but.....

Here is my understanding so far:

To implement SMTP Login authentication I need to set one of the following three environment variables:  
CVM_SASL_CRAM_MD5   (has never been tested)
CVM_SASL_LOGIN
CVM_SASL_PLAIN

I do that by adding a file named as one of the above three options in the /var/service/smtpfront-qmail/env/ directory.

Within that file I need to put the path to the CVM module it will use to authenticate.

Now the stupid questions...

Is my understanding correct?
--and--
Is there currently a CVM that qmail or anything else is using that I can use for the mailfront cvm, or do I need to find and install a separate CVM program?

If you are already doing plaintext pop is there any reason why authenticating plaintext smtp is any worse?

No...

My interest in this is so I can use smtpds along with pop3s and imaps that I've configured, how did you go with cvm? I had a look at their site, eventually found the cvm modules, talk about lack of documentation, reminds me of the blades docos;)

Perhaps I'll just read the src...
