Subject: [IMail Forum] ETRN - SMTP Auth -
Cut Headers
Hello,
Issue #1 - SMTP Authentication is broken. When I
bought the software I was told that I could secure by IP Address - if they
weren't in my IP Range (subnet) it would validate authentication via
their email name and password. (Their FROM Address)
Well - I bought the software - moved all of my
customers over to the mail server and found out that no - it doesn't really
work. Especially - when using Eudora... :) (O.K. yes I'm an idiot I
didn't test it well enough)
Issue #2 - We have a customer that is trying to
use ETRN - we are setup as the backup mx record.
When mail to that domain goes to our server it
bounces - saying "no local user"
Then when he tries to check - obviously there is
no mail.
Our relay settings are
setup as "Relay to Local Users" right now because IP/Local Users is
broken.
Issue #3 - Email Headers Chopped:
We have custom written CGI scripts that send
email - until we moved over to this mail server our email worked fine. As soon
as we made the switch from the old mail server to the new mail server - our
email messages SENT from our CGI scripts were getting chopped up - and the
missing part of the email was ending up in the header of the
message.
Example:
