Courierpassd, courierpasswd, and courieruserinfo work with the Courier mail server user authentication mechanism. Courier provides an extensive selection of authentication modules and I thought it would be nice to be able to access this functionality from more than just Courier itself. Courierpassd and courierpasswd allow me to forgo the need to maintain mail account information in different places for the webmail package or the anti-spam software I use. I'm using courieruserinfo to facilitate the use of multiple virtual domains on my mail server.

Versions 1.1.0 and above of my Courier utilities make use of the Courier authentication library. As such, they won't work with anything older than Courier 0.48, Courier-IMAP 4.0, or SqWebMail 5.0. If you're using older versions of these packages, use version 1.0.1 of my utilities.

TMDA is an anti-spam program that I used to use. You can use it to set up whitelists as well as the more traditional blacklists of email addresses. You can also have it automatically tag addresses in outgoing mail so as to restrict their use. I've had one little problem with this package which the patch described below is meant to address. Be sure to read the caveat, however.

courierpassd is a utility for changing a user's password from across a network. It uses the same protocol as poppassd to obtain user IDs and passwords. I use this program to allow my mail users to change their own passwords on my mail server from squirrelmail, the webmail application I use.

courierpasswd is a user authentication and password changing utility. It's interface follows that of checkpassword. I use it in conjunction with qmail to authenticate all users sending mail through qmail-smtpd. This is how I restrict who can relay mail through my MTA. courierpasswd is also used by tmda-ofmipd from the TMDA package to identify the user ID associated with outgoing mail.

courieruserinfo is used to retrieve information on user accounts. I use this program to allow tmda-ofmipd from the TMDA package to determine the home directory of virtual mail accounts.

tofmipd-daemon is a patch for tmda-ofmipd which is the program that tags outgoing mail. This program is meant to run in the background as a non-root user but I've had problems with it not detaching from its calling process at startup. This causes a second process owned by root to hang around after tmda-ofmipd is started from an init script. This patch eliminates this behaviour.
Caveat Emptor - I wrote this patch back when I was using TMDA 0.62 and I haven't used it since version 0.68 when I started using supervise to start and stop tmda-ofmipd. I don't know if this patch still works with current versions of TMDA or even if it's necessary any more. You should check if you really need it before using it.
