Lightweight for a full blown MTA, but not lightweight. Postfix is what I started trying actually, but too many missing libraries and other difficulties into getting it running on a pfSense box without a decent amount of effort. I suspect there's a tiny, simple daemon somewhere that will do this without a lot of fuss, I just can't find it. I'd probably turn it into a pfSense package and slap a simple GUI on it. It would essentially be a proxy from SMTP to authenticated SMTP, relaying for SMTP clients on the LAN subnet that don't support authentication. Or as a single point for sending mail from your LAN if you don't have an internal mail server. One of those things I wouldn't run on *my* firewall (that's a server's job), but desired by some and not entirely unreasonable. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [email protected] For additional commands, e-mail: [email protected] Commercial support available - https://portal.pfsense.org
