NAME
qmail-smtpam - SMTP client PAM
SYNOPSIS
qmail-smtpam
host
[s]port
DESCRIPTION
qmail-smtpam
reads an email address from FD 3
and tries to verify this
connecting to the remote
host
on
port.
If
port
starts is
s
'implicit TLS' ist used on that port.
In a standard SMTP dialog,
qmail-smtpam
supplies the HELO greeting,
a MAIL FROM: <> address, and
the purported RCPT TO: <address>.
CONTROL FILES
- domainips
-
IP addresses to be used on outgoing connections.
Each line has the form
domain:localip(%ifname)|helohost,
without any extra spaces.
If
domain
matches the domain part in
sender,
qmail-smtpam
will bind to
localip
when connecting to
host.
LLU IPv6 addresses need to be appended with the binding
ifname
following
localip
with a '%'.
If it matches, it will set the provided HELO string as greeting;
otherwise, it will use the default.
- helohost
-
Current host name,
for use solely in saying hello to the remote SMTP server.
Default:
me,
if that is supplied;
otherwise
qmail-smtpam
refuses to run.
- timeoutconnect
-
Number of seconds
qmail-smtpam
will wait for the remote SMTP server to accept a connection.
Default: 60.
The kernel normally imposes a 75-second upper limit.
- timeoutremote
-
Number of seconds
qmail-smtpam
will wait for each response from the remote SMTP server.
Default: 1200.
- tlsdestinations
-
If present, this file advices
qmail-smtpam
to use TLS encryption for specific destination domains
as provided by the forward-path and perhaps to validate/verify
the domain's server certificate:
destination:cafile|verifydepth;[s]port|ciphers|domain.
If
port
is give as or prepended with
s
'implict TLS' is used; omitting StartTLS.
Unless explicitely configured,
qmail-smtpam
accepts any or no certificate provided by the server,
thus uses TLS for encryption only.
qmail-smtpam
uses the same certificate validation/verification
mechanism as
qmail-remote
except for distinguishing among the sender's domain information.
RETURN CODES
qmail-smtpam
exits
0
if the remote server
replies with '250', otherwise
1.
In case the control files can not
be read or a communication problem has
occured, it exits
111.
