You get the source, should there be a new SMTP feature you'd like the code to support. If you're not in a high volume environment, don't need to do gateway rejection for anti-spam, and don't need TLS, it should work just fine.Ummm... not so much. The last released version of FWTK still has locking bugs in the SMTP proxy that can cause problems (definitely wedged mail, maybe lost mail - my memory is fuzzy). I'm pretty sure there are patches
Ah, I thought all that got fixed for 2.0, or whenever Joe Yao put out his patch, whichever came second... My memory is fuzzy though.
floating around that fix them, but I'm not sure. I fixed some of them, and Viktor Duchovni fixed more (well, he rewrote most of the proxy), but we may have fixed the Gauntlet source, not fwtk, so I don't know if they were ever released...
Google finds lots of hits for races and locks with smap, but they all look pretty old to me.
Apologies for the FUD-like post, but it has been 4+ years since I looked at any of this...
It's been longer for me, so I'll defer. Paul ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Paul D.
