Hello from France :)
A simple way (replace any AAA or BBB with correct Ip) :
1 - Configure Xmail to listen ONLY on port 587 by changing xmail smtp
binding in Cmd Line parameters : -SI BBB:587
This have two functions :=20
a : Stop Xmail to listen to standard port 25 defeting many 'spammers' =
and
'viries' that try only on port 25 (see 2 to secure much more port 587 =
to
stop 'intelligent spammers' that try also port 587)
b : Help your customers to bypass some ISP blocking outgoing port 25 =
:)
(in France Orange started doing this without any official advertisment =
to
its customers ... any many others allready added this restriction)
2 - Add this line in server.tab file :
SmtpConfig-BBB,587 [TAB]MailAuth
This line force authentication on port 587, so only your customers (see =
5)
and you mx (AAA) (see 4) will be able to send to xmail (and be =
eventualy
relayed).
3 - Add a dummy account in xmail for use by you mx (AAA) to do auth =
when
sending to xmail (give it a complex name with a strong password :) )
4 - Configure you mx AAA to forward scanned mails to Xmail on port 587 =
with
the good credentials created at point 3
5 - Ask ALL of your customers to replace smtp port 25 with 587 AND to
configure authentication in they MUA for smtp (using they current pop3
email/login and password as credentials)
6 - To force xmail to use mx AAA for outgoing mails put this unique =
line in
smtpfwd.tab file :
*[TAB]AAA:25
(Change 25 by good port at mx AAA if different for outgoing mails)
Doing this, ask xmail to send ANY outgoing mail to AAA
I hope I didn't forget something :)
Bien =E0 vous

Hi everyone,
=20
My Problem :
=20
- I'm using MAIL SECURITY FOR SMTP (IP=3D AAA) to filter spam =
+
virus
(btw : very good product).
- For a domain, I have put the MX entry on AAA and a sub =
domain
(mail.mydomain.com) on my Xmail Server (IP: BBB)
=20
My customers are using mail.mydomain.com to get/send emails (Xmail
server)
Emails are arriving normally on AAA but some spammers are sending
directly
emails to BBB
=20
How can I configure XMAIL to accept only emails relayed by AAA
How can I configure XMAIL to send email using BBB (MAIL SECURITY FOR
SMTP is
doing also filtering on outbound)
=20
I hope I was enough clear and hello to all from a Sunny place in the
south
of France.
=20
Thanks for help and advices
