HI, What I enjoy about poprelayd is that it does not need any patch to th pop/imap server. It reads the syslog output. And as it is written in Perl, it i pretty straight forward to adapt it to nearly any form of log message, even for non standard pop/imap server just throw a regular expression in. I use it with UW-imap myself. (my concern was how to modify sendmail.cf to include the checking of the open relay table :) I recon that having a Perl process running all the time to check the syslog file is not the nicest solution, a friends reports that on his ISP email server it uses up to 15% of the resources, but they are handling thousands of emails every minute. In my case, it should not proceed more than one connection every day so the process will not be overloaded... :) I would accept a pointer to drac, just to have a look.
