Qpsmtpd started as a replacement daemon for the SMTP receiver (qmail-smtpd)
|
||
|
|
from the qmail mail transport agent (MTA). qmail-smtpd has a number of
|
||
|
|
shortcomings (e.g. being unable to check the validity of a recipient mail
|
||
|
|
address) and is written in C which makes it burdensome to modify and extend.
|
||
|
|
Qpsmtpd, on the other hand, is written in pure perl and can be customized
|
||
|
|
easily. It consists of a core that implements a complete SMTP server, and a
|
||
|
|
number of plugins/modules which control the operations. Such plugins
|
||
|
|
include plugins to check the recipient and sender as well as plugins for
|
||
|
|
virus scanning, spam checking, blocking lists (dns and rhs), AUTH and TLS.
|
||
|
|
Qpsmtpd can not only be used with qmail but also with e.g. postfix and
|
||
|
|
exim. It can also write messages to a Maildir or forward it to a remote
|
||
|
|
host without buffering.
