Hi All,
I have been running qmail servers in LWQ format for years now, but it looks
like I need to take
control of some Plesk 8.1 installations. Now this may or may not be a good
thing <grin> judging
by previous messages on this list about the subject.
I am wondering whether anyone on this list uses Plesk and has a way of adding
things into the
receipt and delivery chain in a way that will not get clobbered when the plesk
installation is
updated (as the provider's here seem to do on a regular basis).
My thoughts are to add a little greylisting program (which I currently have
running on LWQ
installs which works great BTW) into the incoming smtp stream. This way I do
not have to compile
(and subsequently re-compile) qmail and re-install it every time the server
software is updated.
It looks like it can be added in the /etc/xinetd.d/smtp_psa file on the
server_args line. But I
think (not sure) this will get clobbered during an upgrade or resetting of the
mail system under
certain circumstances.
I have searched the plesk forums to no avail yet. Just thought I'd drop this
list a line to see
if any have been down this road before.
Thanks
Graham
