we need a high performance SMTP proxy Gateway able to check incoming smtp connections on some certain rules and passing the emails to the internal imail smtp engine. it will be used for anti spam checking.we need the following: smtp proxygateway written in C or any other high performance language compiled for windows 2000 and windows 2003 and windws nt 4.0 systems later compiled for linux unix and sun solaris systems must be able to handle gt 5000 smtp connections per hour should not consume much memory and processor should run as service on a defined port (initxt file to define the listening port) should check incoming smtp connections on certain rules should relay emails to a second smtp server from imail (www.ipswitch.com) should only relay emails for internal domains which will be defined in a txt file should be flexible for enhancements in the future (antispam checking) must be able to handle all smtp statements as defined in rfc smtp protocoll definitions should do logging into a txt file. information to be logged: ip and domain connecting, date and time of connection, senders email, destination users email and domain, state of connection (successfull or blocked), information from whitelists (see below)for the first step, the smtp gateway should check the following: get the connecting IP address resolve the IP address to a real domain name (if the ip cant be resolved because of a missing mx or a record in dns, the connection is refused) check the resolved domain name for some strings (defined in a txt file):quotadslquot, quotdialupquot, quot234quot quot162quot or any other ip addresses in domain name which identify the connection as a dialupdynamic connection if one of the checking is positiv, the connection will be refused with 550 error gt the error message passed to outside smtp server can be defined in txt config file senders and domains in a txt file called quotwhitelistquot will not be checked. they will be passed directly to the second smtp server senders and domains in a txt blacklist will not be checkedconnection is refused immediatley. 550 error message can be define in a txt config fileyou will deliver us the running service and the source codeinstallation programmconfig txt filesdocumentation how this config files logging etc. workyou dont have any copyright on this gt it will be passed to us
Bid Smart - The lowest bidder doesn't always get chosen, far from it. Persuade your buyer why they should pick you - and they will.
Research - If John has paid more than $500 a contract for his last 10 project, why would you think he is interested in your $10 bid? Check up on the buyer, bid what he expects, and deliver quality to match.
Read - Please read the bid request - I cannot emphasise this enough - if you do not read the bid request then you will not be chosen, this is pretty much certain. Mention the bid request specifically in your application, and don't forget to repeat the key deliverables.
Innovate - Suggest features the bidder didn't mention, talk about future extensions to the project, and discuss whether you think his or her approach is a good idea. Show interest, intellect, and willing.
