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.
