I have been running these since the identd thing. Smap is a tiny smtp protocol engine that runs as uid "nobody" in a chrooted environment. You can't do very much with it :-) Smapd comes along later, verifies the message headers for politeness, and then passes the message to sendmail. Some sendmail policy wonks do not like it, but it seems to work. It is better than loosing sleep over what the next sendmail bug-o-the-month will be. Regards, Mark Hittinger bugs@win.net
