[Dovecot] Feature question/request
So I have a bunch of users who are roaming - IE no static IP address from all over the internet. Some of them are able to use SMTP-AUTH which is great, but for those that can't, a pop before smtp solution is in place using relay-ctrl-age & cdb files via qmail.
Would it be desirable to have this feature in dovecot? I'd really like to ditch qmail-pop3d, etc.
vpopmail has a open_smtp_relay() when using vchkpw directly.

There's a plugin for drac:

drac appears to be sendmail only.

I use DRAC with postfix.

That's nice and all, but postfix is a lot more like sendmail than qmail is.
Qmail has a built in interface to using a CDB - constant database, which although similar, is not the BerkeleyDB that DRAC uses.

Huh? >:-)

Well, you shouldn't use Qmail and complain it doesn't have features. ;)
I'm afraid you are stretching it to the point it doesn't make sense anymore to still choose Qmail.
Anyway, out of curiosity, which clients still don't have SMTP AUTH support?

Well, I could be using courier-imap which does support this feature, but I'd rather use dovecot. =)

Older versions of Eudora is what I know of right off.

Why cannot they use SMTP AUTH?

A number of people are using older mail programs that don't support it.
I'm not trying to solve that problem right now.
