qmail-authentication patch

Hi, this patch adds the functionality to qmail-remote to send mails to other SMTP (in my case my ISP) when this servers needs authentication (PLAIN and LOGIN).

This is required for me and, i think, all my country, becouse all our providers have authenticated smtp's. All adsl clients have dinamic ip so, it is blacklisted, there is no other way to send mails than from the ISPs SMTP

It, adds a new control files called authsenders on /var/qmail/control/authsenders which have primority over smtproutes.

the url to download it is

thanks in advance.
i will be very happy if i can be the first on test it.

sorry, after looking and looking and when i was downloading again the sources of qmail from ebuilds to patch it, i see a patch on it:
qmail-remote-auth.patch or something like that, i read the text file, and it was what i want, but it was very dificult to find it, a noob cant do it.

just in case, somebody finding the kind of "bug", the solution for PLAIN  authentication is:
on /var/qmail/control/smtproutes which by default doesn't exists

edit and place a line like this

:smtp.ispdomain.com username password

in the patch mentioned in the first post the sinstax is similar but not ecual, doesn't care now.

sorry
