RE: [courier-users] realy error message

[Bowie Bailey]

There are only a few solutions.   1. Control relaying via IP address or IP block.  This only works if your users are in a controlled network (or at least have fixed Internet IPs).   2. Control relaying based on esmtp authentication.  This is implemented in Courier by default.  If you set up an account for authentication, then it will be allowed to relay if it authenticates the connection.  See http://www.courier-mta.org/install.html#esmtpauth.  Just don't make the mistake of enabling "AUTH_REQUIRED" or your incoming mail will die.   3. Control relaying based on the From address.  This is very insecure as anyone can fake a from address using a standard mail client.  I'm not sure Courier even implements this.   BTW:  Last time I tried to setup authentication between Courier and Outlook Express, I didn't have any luck.  So if you figure it out let me know.   Bowie   -----Original Message----- From: Paeddy [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Tuesday, January 14, 2003 12:16 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Cc: Bowie Bailey Subject: Re: [courier-users] realy error message HI Bowie,   think that this isn't really a kewl solution, even if it may work. the problem is that i'm often at some customers and therefore i don't know what ip adress i will have. this wouel result in opening all the ranges but that isn't what i want do to. isn't there another solution ?   regards, patrick ----- Original Message ----- From: Bowie Bailey To: Paeddy Sent: Tuesday, January 14, 2003 3:43 PM Subject: RE: [courier-users] realy error message Ok, you're trying to send mail from outlook on a separate computer, so you'll need to give that computer relay access.  By default Courier denies all attempts to relay mail through it.   Add the following line to your 'smtpaccess' file:     212.47.160.240    allow,RELAYCLIENT (and I think the separator between the IP address and the options must be a tab)   That IP address should be the address for the machine running Outlook. You could also just specify the IP block (212.47.160), if you control the whole thing and want all of your machines to have relay access to the server.   I always just edit the config files on my server, but you should be able to do this through the webadmin as well.  If you edit the file by hand, you will need to run 'makesmtpaccess' in order for the changes to take effect.   Bowie -----Original Message----- From: Paeddy [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Monday, January 13, 2003 6:16 PM To: Bowie Bailey Subject: Re: [courier-users] realy error message Hi Bowie,   ii did that but nothing changed   regards, patrick     ----- Original Message ----- From: Bowie Bailey To: Paeddy Sent: Monday, January 13, 2003 6:33 PM Subject: RE: [courier-users] realy error message You need to list the domains under 'esmtpacceptmailfor' as well.  I'm not sure where that option is in the webadmin, but it should be there somewhere.   Bowie -----Original Message----- From: Paeddy [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Monday, January 13, 2003 11:38 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [courier-users] realy error message hi all,   i just startet using courier and it works great. just one pronlem. i have multiple domains which i want to run on the same server. the problem now is that i receive the following log messages   Jan 13 18:33:37 furbyII courieresmtpd: error,relay=::ffff:212.47.160.250,from=<[EMAIL PROTECTED]>,to=<[EMAIL PROTECTED]>: 513 Relaying denied.   in my opintion i configured it the right way, what means that i used the webadmin and i listet the domains under   Mail server name and local domains ->>Locally-hosted domains   there are now 4 domains.   strange thing is that i'm able to send/recived emails when i'm using the web frontend but when i want to use the Outlook express i only can receive emails.   do you have an idea what i should check ?   regards, patrick
