RE: GLUG: Exim/MTA Question

["Eugene van Zyl" <eugene@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

:-) That's an interesting way to put it but I get the picture!
I saw in the docs that you can compile exim with tcpwrapper support, but I've installed the standard Debian package, and have no idea how to check what it's been compiled with (BTW it also set it up standard through inetd). Any idea?
Also the doc seem to hint that exim has some form of access control, is this just relay based or is there some standard/native way without compiling tcpwrappers in, to control access ?

(I'll be setting it up behind a firewall though so I might just decide to use it as is.)

Thanks,
Eugene

The only real benefit of running it thru inetd would be to have tcpwrappers
working on it... With a huge number of simultaneous calls happening
constantly inetd could well k*k itself and fall over, leaving you without
smtp/pop/other services running...

Probably best to leave it as a daemon and not break other services.
