looking for a way to accept HARDLY ANY relays -- hopefully more than just "anybody from worldnet.att.net"...
i've got a partner who'd like to be able to send email from serensoft.com -- but he's way out in the northeast using worldnet.att.net, and i'm way out here in the midwest using podunk-isp-r-us. when he tries sending email as coming from @serensoft.com, it's accepted if it's TO another serensoft user; but for any external destination it gets bounced as a relay attempt, because of the line relay_domains = in the /etc/exim/exim.conf file. if i change it to relay_domains = worldnet.att.net then he can certainly send email from @serensoft to @out-there but then SO CAN ANYBODY ELSE using that small, tiny, insignificant worldnet.att.net network (of thousands and thousands). is there some way to further restrict the relaying? i DO NOT want any black hats turning my server into spam-o-rama. ideas welcome. -- I use Debian/GNU Linux version 3.0; Linux server 2.4.20-k6 #1 Mon Jan 13 23:49:14 EST 2003 i586 unknown DEBIAN NEWBIE TIP #109 from Dave Thayer <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> : Puzzled about HOW TO READ COMPRESSED FILES? In /usr/share/doc there are tons of *.gz files -- they're "gzipped" to save space. I like to use lynx to read the stuff in /usr/share/doc/*. It handles gzip textfiles just fine and makes it easy to navigate between files. If there is HTML documentation you can follow the hyperlinks. BTW, if you install the doc-linux-html package you get the HOWTOs in hypertext.
