Adding to my own post - I also have web sites and shopping carts on Red Hat Linux boxes, and it uses Sendmail, which can also be configured to use SMTP AUTH which allows relaying by authenticated users (username and password) using CFMAIL.
I used to use the heavyweight MS Exchange, and it also supports SMTP AUTH. Check your tag reference library in CF, it supports all of the above. I suggest using extreme caution about adding to the "allow relaying for" entries, because that opens the door to spammers who can spoof the sending IP number and funnel their spew through your server. ===================================== Douglas White group Manager mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.samcfug.org ===================================== ----- Original Message ----- From: "samcfug" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "CF-Talk" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Saturday, November 16, 2002 7:48 PM Subject: Re: secure email... | Excuse me!
