Free Add-on Software

I am pleased to contribute software to open-source communities, subject to 'GPL' license or similar restrictions - please see the specific package for details. These packages and patches are currently offered (mostly qmail/netqmail-related); all are found on my Free Stuff Microsite:

• qmail-logmsg: This adds extensive logging for incoming SMTP to qmail[-smtpd].
• greydaemon: This add-on for netqmail by John Levine (I wrote the 'glue' and documentation) provides full greylisting to significantly reduce spam.
• qmail-verify: Adds an extra component to qmail to verify the existence of users' mailboxes. This is used during the SMTP session to determine if a message should be accepted. It is a comprehensive update to Paul Jarc's realrcptto patch.
• spamrefuse: This patch extends netqmail to refuse spammy messages at SMTP time. It assumes incoming messages are scanned by SpamAssassin: If the resulting score exceeds a supplied threshold the message is refused.
• ofmipd-plus: This patch enhances the SMTP submission tool ofmipd with John Levine's authentication patch as well as additions to provide detailed logging.
• qmail-hashdir: This extends qmail's functionality by adding a system to manage users' directories (and the Maildirs there) in a scalable manner. It allows for an almost unlimited number of mailboxes on a system, across multiple domains, optionally also on multiple machines with shared mailbox storage. It uses a command-line interface, so is easily integrated with existing user-management systems.
• radcheckpassword: A drop-in replacement for the checkpassword program typically used to authenticate from the system's /etc/passwd database. Instead of consulting this database, external Radius server(s) are consulted.
• couriercheckpassword: Another drop-in replacement for checkpassword, this time providing a way of using Courier's authentication methods which include LDAP.
• Other patches: A variety of smaller patches including logging patches for rblsmtpd & serialmail, early talker patch for qmail[-smtpd] and errno, make clean patches for ucspi-tcp, serialmail, mess822.
• TetriPiSense: A game for the Raspberry Pi with Sense Hat (Astro Pi) add-on board.

All packages come with documentation to enable you to set them up. Use the contact page if you'd like commercial installation or support with any of these packages.
