postfix, exim and the rest that drives email on the net.
Exim is a mail transport agent (MTA) developed at the University of
Cambridge for use on Unix systems connected to the Internet. It is
freely available under the terms of the GNU General Public Licence. In
style, it is similar to Smail 3, but its facilities are more extensive.
In particular, it has options for verifying incoming sender and
recipient addresses, for refusing mail from specified hosts, networks,
or senders, and for controlling mail relaying.
This daemon provides a simple greylisting implementation for use with Exim and other mail transport agents (MTAs). For an
introduction to greylisting, please refer to Evan Harris' whitepaper at:
http://projects.puremagic.com/greylisting/
In essense, greylisting is a simple but highly effective means to weed out messages that are being delivered via spamware/
ratware tools. The idea is to establish whether a prior relationship exists between the sender and the receiver of a message.
Most of the time it does, and the delivery proceeds normally.
On the other hand, if no prior relationship exists, the delivery is temporariliy rejected (using a 451 SMTP response).
Legitimate MTAs will treat this response accordingly, and retry the delivery in a little while. In contrast, ratware will often
try to hammer on your server repeatedly within a short period of time (i.e. seconds), and/or simply give up and move on to the
next target in its address list.
The package contains a sample configuration snippet for use with Exim 4.

maildrop is a replacement for your local mail delivery agent. maildrop reads a
mail message from standard input, then delivers the message to your mailbox.
maildrop knows how to deliver mail to mbox-style mailboxes, and maildirs.
"maildir" is a mailbox format used by Courier and Qmail.
maildrop optionally reads instructions from a file, which describe how to
filter incoming mail. These instructions can direct maildrop to deliver the
message to an alternate mailbox, or forward it somewhere else. Unlike procmail,
maildrop uses a structured filtering language.
maildrop is written in C++, and is significantly larger than procmail. However,

Unlike most monitoring tools that either focus on a small set of
statistics, format their output in only one way, run either
interatively or as a daemon but not both, collectl tries to do it all.
Ampache is a PHP-based tool for managing, updating, and playing your
MP3 files via a Web interface. It allows you to save play lists, create
user accounts, and share your music catalogs with other Ampache
servers. It uses a MySQL database.
Read the README files about configuring ampache.
This project contains PHP extensions that are not part of the PHP distribution.
It will transparently proxy your ftp clients (duh). This means that any
clients you have that are behind the proxy will believe that they are
connecting to an ftp server as normal, but will actually be connecting
to frox. Frox will do the onward connection to the remote server.
It can also be set up to do non-transparent proxying. In this case the
ftp client can connect directly to frox, but instead of logging in with
``username'' should log in with ``username@ftp.wherever.org''.
On either of these sorts of connections it can do caching of files you
download, or converting of data connections from active-->passive which
can make firewalling rules a lot easier/safer. There is also basic
support for running a virus scanner on downloaded files.
See http://frox.sourceforge.net/ for more information.

This project provides various shells, like zsh and others. It also serves as development project for packages around the topic of shells in the openSUSE:Factory distribution. If you want to participate you can contact us individually. Please report bugs to the respective bugowners as set.
