qmail running on a second port: SMTP AUTH

albans

Regular Pleskian
Hi,
I'm trying to set another instance of qmail running on port 8025.
As seen on this post:
http://forum.swsoft.com/showthread.php?s=&threadid=32469

I want to be able to use this instance as an SMTP gateway for my mail client (ie Outlook)... So, skip the RBLSMTPD check (as I'm on a dynamic IP) and FORCE the SMTP AUTH...

With the following example, it skips the RBLSMTPD, but I can't figure how to force the STMP AUTH (actually I can send mail to the local hosts of the server without logging in):
file /etc/xinetd.d/smtp-auth

service smtp-auth
{
socket_type = stream
protocol = tcp
wait = no
disable = no
user = root
instances = UNLIMITED
server = /var/qmail/bin/tcp-env
server_args = /var/qmail/bin/relaylock /var/qmail/bin/qmail-smtpd /var/qmail/bin/smtp_auth /var/qmail/bin/true /var/qmail/bin/cmd5checkpw /var/qmail/bin/true
}

Any idea? Thanks!
 
Hi,

I'm searching exactly for the same, a way to force authenticated connections on my secondary smtp port...

Did anyone ever found a solution to for this?
