Hello, Hello,
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.
Currently running dovecot 2.0.11 on FreeBSD 8.1
service smtp-auth { executable = /usr/local/bin/smtpfront-qmail inet_listener smtp-auth { port = 587 ssl = no } }
I have added the above to dovecot.conf
Once I start dovecot everything seems fine - no errors in the log But at the first attempt to telnet to localhost port 587 - I instantly get the indication of never ending forks in the dovecot log (see below) - neither do I get the SMTP prompt that I expected in my telnet session - it just hangs.
Apr 19 10:05:34 smtp-auth: Error: mailfront[43539]: bytes in: 0 bytes out: 29 Apr 19 10:05:34 smtp-auth: Error: mailfront[43541]: bytes in: 0 bytes out: 29 Apr 19 10:05:34 smtp-auth: Error: mailfront[43543]: bytes in: 0 bytes out: 29 Apr 19 10:05:34 smtp-auth: Error: mailfront[43545]: bytes in: 0 bytes out: 29
Question is if I've misconfigured something or if it is impossible to utilize dovecot2.x this way ?
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.
Any feedback is more than welcome - I'm stuck
Thanks in advance Uffe
