Q: What hap­pens if you have a SMT­PA server, and you have a us­er called in­fo, and then set its pass­word to in­fo?

A:

[root@victim ~]# qmail-qstat
messages in queue: 151369
messages in queue but not yet preprocessed: 9

Lesson:

  • Yes, there is a rea­­son why those pass­­words are not avail­able by de­­fault.

  • I re­al­­ly should lim­it the per-ac­­count out­­­go­ing mail by de­­fault in all server­s. Let's start work­ing on it.
