Hello,. I am trying to provide pop3/smtp services for some clients that have random dial-up internet access. For this reason it is not viable to attempt to allow relaying through 'smtpaccess' permissions, since they connect from random and changing ips.
So, I have enabled authentication on inbound esmtp. I have gone over the settings in the 'esmtp' config file and read through much documentation. Then, I allowed relaying for all addresses. I assumed that this would still allow unauthenticated inbound smtp sessions for locally hosted mail, and that anyone trying to relay non-local mail through my server would have to authenticate. Alas, now all inbound mail gets the "535 authentication required" response as shown by /var/log/mail.log So the question: can I only authenticate outbound relaying sessions without requiring authentication for all inbound esmtp connections? Am I missing something here or is esmtp authentication only applicable to "all or none"? It seems that the only solution for allowing relaying from remote addresses is to have one server running authentication for remote users to relay through, and another server to catch all inbound mail. Does this sound accurate? I think I am missing something.
