I'm trying to run mailfront SMTP (http://untroubled.org/mailfront/) under Dovecot 2.x process/service supervision
My intention was to utilize the fact that dovecot2.x seems to have some kind of generic process/service supervision as well as builtin ssl support. But I cannot get the most simple generic service setup (without ssl) to work.
service smtp-auth { executable = /usr/local/bin/smtpfront-qmail
The services have to be written explicitly for Dovecot, using Dovecot's lib-master library.
Is smtpfront-qmail trying to use inetd-style execution? Maybe Dovecot could some day support that, but it's not really in my near future plans.
PS: Now I know that I could use daemontools or such for this task - but I like the dovecot ssl handling and would like to end up by wrapping this smtp service inside same dovecot ssl that I use for IMAPS.
Also the service is supposed to do the SSL itself internally, so you really can't do any of this.
