not sure who posted that poprelay patch early on -- it
was a single line-change in the script. well i just sent
some mail without checking pop first and noticed that my
server didn't complain.
i then ran the tests at:
http://members.iinet.net.au/~remmie/relay/
and found that i was an open relay for the last week.
argh! so i grabbed the .rpm from
$ wget
ftp://ftp.cobaltnet.com/pub/experimental/RPMS/poprelayd-2.0-4.noarch.rpm
then
$ su
$ rpm -Fvh poprelayd-2.0-4.noarch.rpm
ran the tests above, and all is safe now.
regards,
a happy customer.
