We are a college with some 150 staff and 2000 full time students. We are
using IMail 6.03 mainly for staff email, but want to give accounts to
more students this summer. Most users access their mail using POP3 with
Netscape 4.7 client software within the college and the web front end
for accessing it at home.
We want to prevent students sending mail while pretending to be someone
else. I asked Ipswitch and they suggested restricting relay to local
users which I've done. However this does not prevent a student
pretending to send mail from a different, genuine user, and Ipswitch
said that we could not do this. I tried enabling AUTH, but when I do I
can not send mail at all; I get a prompt to authenticate, but it does
not accept the ID and password. We use an Access database and ODBC for
the user details on the IMail server.
Is there any way to make sure that users sendin mail are who they say
they are?
