I think having your web form authenticate to send is better.  Your web form could be compromised and used to send out spam emails.  This can happen either way, but if you have several web forms and they authenticate to send, you can easily tell which form is compromised by using your logs.  Otherwise you would only be able to tell which server it came from which may not be as useful.  That would tell you the server that is compromised, but not HOW it is compromised.  It could be a virus, a zombie-infection, a rogue web form or many other things.  If, however, you can trace it to a specific login that is unique to the form, you know exactly where to start looking.

Hi Kathy-
 
Unless there's something unusual about your setup, I would suggest whitelisting the IP of your website in the SMTP Security "Relay for Addresses" page. It's much easier. Apply the change and then stop/start the SMTP service. You can do that right from the SMTP page.

Kathy,

 

That would depend on what method you are using on your website to actually send the email.

 

On Win2K and newer you can use CDOSYS

 

Here is some ASP code you can use as an example

 

<%
Dim ObjSendMail
Set ObjSendMail = CreateObject("CDO.Message")
    
'This section provides the configuration information for the remote SMTP server.
    
ObjSendMail.Configuration.Fields.Item ("
http://schemas.microsoft.com/cdo/configuration/sendusing") = 2 'Send the message using the network (SMTP over the network).
ObjSendMail.Configuration.Fields.Item ("
http://schemas.microsoft.com/cdo/configuration/smtpserver") ="mail.yoursite.com"
ObjSendMail.Configuration.Fields.Item ("
http://schemas.microsoft.com/cdo/configuration/smtpserverport") = 25
ObjSendMail.Configuration.Fields.Item ("
http://schemas.microsoft.com/cdo/configuration/smtpusessl") = False 'Use SSL for the connection (True or False)
ObjSendMail.Configuration.Fields.Item ("
http://schemas.microsoft.com/cdo/configuration/smtpconnectiontimeout") = 60
    
' If your server requires outgoing authentication uncomment the lines bleow and use a valid email address and password.
'ObjSendMail.Configuration.Fields.Item ("
http://schemas.microsoft.com/cdo/configuration/smtpauthenticate") = 1 'basic (clear-text) authentication
'ObjSendMail.Configuration.Fields.Item ("
http://schemas.microsoft.com/cdo/configuration/sendusername") ="[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
'ObjSendMail.Configuration.Fields.Item ("
http://schemas.microsoft.com/cdo/configuration/sendpassword") ="yourpassword"
    
ObjSendMail.Configuration.Fields.Update
    
'End remote SMTP server configuration section==
    
ObjSendMail.To = "
[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
ObjSendMail.Subject = "this is the subject"
ObjSendMail.From = "
[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
    
' we are sending a text email.. simply switch the comments around to send an html email instead
'ObjSendMail.HTMLBody = "this is the body"
ObjSendMail.TextBody = "this is the body"
    
ObjSendMail.Send
    
Set ObjSendMail = Nothing
%>

How do I get the form to authenticate to IMAIL?

Why yes. Naturally, since you have relay set to No Relay, unless your form is authenticating to Imail, it will not relay for it.

 

You will need to change your relay settings to relay for IP addresses, and then add the IP of the server that the forms are coming from.

We have IMAIL version 8.15 on our system and have it set to No Mail Relay

 

The problem is this:

 

On any form we have on our websites, the form will not send to anyone not listed in IMAIL. This is causing a major problem if we have a page where someone can refer a friend by filling out a form on our website.

 

Does anyone have any suggestions?
