DRAC for FreeBSD =============================== A Simplified Installation Guide =============================== What is DRAC? =============================== DRAC stands for Dynamic Relay Authorization Control and was written by Gary Mills as a contender for Pop before SMTP. The premise behind DRAC is to allow dynamic hosts to temporarily relay through an SMTP server after they have authenticated via POP3 server. Scope of this Document =============================== The scope of this document is to explain how to install and configure DRAC on FreeBSD to work with both Sendmail and Qpopper, two of the most robust and common mail related applications. Installing and Configuring DRAC =============================== 1. You will most likely want to install DRAC from the ports collection which will put the files in all the right places. a. cd /usr/ports/mail/drac b. make c. make install d. make clean e. Edit /usr/local/etc/dracd.host to say: localhost f. Edit /usr/local/etc/dracd.allow to say: 255.255.255.255 127.0.0.1 2. Enable portmap a. vi /etc/hosts.allow, add entry portmap : localhost : allow b. vi /etc/rc.conf, change portmap_enable to ="YES" 3. Enable rpc a. vi /etc/rc.conf, add rpcbind_enable="YES" Installing Qpopper ============================== 4. Install qpopper from the ports collection a. cd /usr/ports/mail/qpopper b. make WITH_DRAC=yes install c. Optionally, you can include the WITH_Y_OPTION=yes to allow you to specify a different logging facility for popper. Configuring Sendmail ============================== 5. When configuring, this document assumes you are using the sendmail installed by default. a. cd /etc/mail b. Edit the.mc file c. Add the following at the end of the file and PAY ATTENTION TO THE 3 TABS BETWEEN THE *, + AND THE $:!!! # dynamic relay authorization control map Kdrac btree -o /usr/local/etc/dracd LOCAL_RULESETS SLocal_check_rcpt # allow recent POP/IMAP mail clients to relay R$* $: $&{client_addr} R$+ $: $(drac $1 $: ? $) R? $@ ? R$+ $@ $#OK 6. Enable DRAC in your /etc/rc.conf file dracd_enable="YES" drac_flags="-i -e 10" 7. Reboot Testing ============================ 8. Run a typical test to make sure you can relay after authing to the pop3 server. Trying 192.168.1.2... Connected to mail.somehost.com.

If something has failed, check the log files and repeat steps. Credits =================================== Gary Mills for writing DRAC.
