FAQ. What you want is Relay mail for Addresses. Put in your addresses only.
Everyone that isn't in your LAN (all your clients) will have to log on to the server with their POP3 user name and password before they can send email. Since this is available in every major email program this shouldn't be a problem. There is no other setting that will prevent your server being used to send spam from the outside. ~Brad -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]]On Behalf Of Ivan Ivanov Sent: Monday, March 04, 2002 5:36 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: RE: [IMail Forum] [ROUTING SPAM] Maybe if I explain my situation a bit, you might be able to tell me what am I doing wrong. We have over 100 customers coming from different networks. We have over 100 web sites using CDONTS or FPSE to send email from the web site (relaying it through the Imail server). When I choose the no mail relay, I can't seem to send mail out at all - even from my client ( I am on a different IP network). I know that I can specify which Ips are ok to relay, but with over 100 customers, I can 't specify Ips one at a time. I have the feeling that when I choose this option, mail can not be sent out, even from users from Imail (our customers). Thank you for all of your help.

I have setup the smtp to relay only for local domains. >However, the server relays email for every one. When I change the setting to >relay mail for local users, then it works as it is supposed to. I need it to >run in the "relay mail for local hosts" mode however. Note that any setting other than "Relay for Addresses" and "No Mail Relay" means that you are an open relay, allowing spammers to use your service for free. That's probably why you are listed in NJABL, ORBZIN, and ORBZOUT. >Right now, I can open a telnet session to the server and send email from >anyone to anyone and the server will relay the mail message. (the server is >setup to relay email only for local hosts). Well, any spammer can do that, unless you use "Relay for Addresses" or "No Mail Relay". So don't worry about it too much. If you really want to be an open relay, and care how it is open, you should make sure that you stopped/restarted the SMTP service. To make sure that you are not an open relay, you can either use IMail's "Relay for addresses" (in which case you would enter a list of "safe" IP addresses that your users may come from; anyone not coming from those safe IPs would need to use SMTP AUTH), or "No mail relay" (which really means that everyone must use SMTP AUTH). Note that relay setting apply only to outgoing E-mail, so no matter what your settings are, your users will still be able to get mail. -Scott --- Declude: Anti-virus, Anti-spam and Anti-hijacking solutions for IMail. http://www.declude.com --- [This E-mail was scanned for viruses by Declude Virus (http://www.declude.com)] Please visit http://www.ipswitch.com/support/mailing-lists.html to be removed from this list.
