Dear Davide -

On 4/18/2008 3:24PM ET you responded to my eMail about how
to lockdown xMail for use with Postini or any private mail Relay. 

My OS is Windows 2003 Enterprise R2 Server SP2 running xMail 1.25.

Please note that I do have two instances of xMail running on
the same server. As far as I can this configuration works just fine.
This configuration was perfected with information gleaned from
several sources including the kind folks on this list.

This xMail server in question is the second instance.

The reason I have two xMail servers is so that the first one serves
my existing eMailboxes and the second xMail Server will only
accept eMail relayed to it from Postini.

The xMail servers are behind a Firewall in a DMZ using public IPs.

Your suggestion was:

>Add the IP of the Postini box to SMTP.IPPROP.TAB (lowercase,
> you know), with a "WhiteList=1" property.

I continue to get the "551 Server use forbidden" from Postini which
I assumed was still being sent back from xMail. 

To prove the source of the issue (Postini vs. xMail) I manually
telnet-ed to the xMail server and typed "HELO relay.example.org"
then "MAIL FROM:<[EMAIL PROTECTED]>" from my home office network
which is NATed to a single public IP.

As you will see from the test below that I included my home office public
IP network address which is 96. address in the config files (to stand in
for the Postini infrastructure).

So I reviewed my following configs for errors and did not find
any -- so here are the details -->

server.tab
========
<more config>
"SmtpConfig-64.74.149.27,25"    "MailAuth"
"SmtpConfig-64.74.149.27,8291"  "MailAuth"
<more config>

smtp.ipprop.tab
============
"10.0.0.0/24"   "WhiteList=1"
"64.18.0.0/20"  "WhiteList=1"
"96.227.65.4"   "WhiteList=1"
<blank line>

I also tried smtprelay.tab with the following just because I thought I
should try:
"10.0.0.0"      "255.255.255.0
"64.18.0.0"     "255.255.240.0"
"96.227.65.4"   "255.255.255.255"
<blank line>

Finally, I went back into the server config and commented out the
"SmtpConfig-" lines in the server.tab and xMail responded with
"250 OK" instead of the "551 Server use forbidden".

Without the SmtpConfig I then sent an eMail from Hotmail to my
test domain and Postini was able to delivery an eMail fine!

Can you spot my config issue?
