<br>
I've just installed Debian Testing (Wheezy, 7.0) as a platform for<br>
a mail server at a school. The POP3/IMAP service that I have chosen is<br>
Cyrus - mostly due to the fact that I made very good experience with<br>
this software in the past and a lot of self-written tools and scripts<br>
for mailbox and user management have already been available.<br>
<br>
The server is also responsible for the outgoing messages of our users.<br>
Therefore I use the MTA Sendmail. I've configured SMTP AUTH to allow<br>
our local users to send mails even when being not at the school's<br>
network (roaming users).<br>
<br>
This works -so far- without any problems.<br>
<br>
Some users or their legacy devices are not capable of configuring<br>
or doing SMTP AUTH. They rather expect the SMTP server to allow<br>
relaying without authentication. Of course, I cannot allow this for<br>
arbitrary source IP addresses due to a very-likely abuse by spammers.<br>
<br>
Therefore I would like to use a "POP/IMAP before SMTP" solution. I<br>
am aware that this is quite a hack, but I don't know of any better<br>
approach.<br>
<br>
Instead of using the really dirty hacks that parse the log files<br>
generated by the POP3/IMAP daemon, I've been planning to use the<br>
DRAC feature which is offered as an option that can be activated in<br>
"/etc/imapd.conf" the Cyrus server. I am aware that I also need the<br>
RPC-based DRAC daemon which I've already installed. But nevertheless,<br>
it seems that the Cyrus-IMAP doesn't send any information to the<br>
"rpc.dracd", so there isn't any IP address which gets put into the<br>
temporary DRAC allow-relay database.<br>
<br>
My question is: Is the Cyrus IMAP server that comes with Wheezy<br>
able to talk to "rpc.dracd"? At some sites I've just read about<br>
patches that have to be applied to Cyrus, but even in the package<br>
description<br>
<br>
<a href="http://packages.debian.org/en/sid/cyrus-common-2.4" target="_blank">http://packages.debian.org/en/<u></u>sid/cyrus-common-2.4</a><br>
<br>
the "POP/IMAP-before-SMTP using DRAC" is listed as a feature without<br>
any mentioned pre-conditions or the need of a recompilation...<br>
<br>
The reason why I'd like to use the built-in DRAC is that there is<br>
also a solution to combine DRAC with the grey-listing which must<br>
be also deactivated temporarily for IP addresses of our roaming<br>
users.<br>
<br>
Does anyone know more about the availability of the DRAC feature in<br>
the Cyrus POP3/IMAP package that comes with Debian Wheezy?<br>
<br>
Thank you very much in advance!<br>
<br>
Kind regards,<br>
Steffen<br>
