I sent this on Sunday but didn't see it show up on the list so trying again...

I had a chance to play with OpenSMTPD this week.  A couple of points:

1.  The smtpctl binary must be run setgid _smtpq

2.  In order to get ‘smtpctl encrypt’ functionality, the source must be patched:


+++ smtpd/smtpctl.c
@@ -966,7 +966,7 @@ do_encrypt(int argc, struct parameter *a

       if (argv)
               p = argv[0].u.u_str;
-       execl(PATH_ENCRYPT, "encrypt", "--", p, (char *)NULL);
+       execl(PATH_ENCRYPT, "encrypt", p, (char *)NULL);
       errx(1, "execl");
}

This was patched in master back in February but didn’t make it into the portable code.

3.  And lastly…I can’t get smtpd to run!  I mean it starts up and runs but I can’t get it to send mail.  It silently dies when I try to send anything.  Using ‘swaks’ to generate a test email from the command line I get:

/usr/pkg/etc # swaks --to ssartor@odyssey.localnet --server localhost

*** Remote host closed connection unexpectedly.

This silently kills smtpd — no error message, no core file.

thanks,

Steve
