I'm running Imail 5.09 and discovered that relay is open. I had a look at the ipswitch KB and followed procedure "IMail-How to close an open relay" (IM-20021108-DM01), but it didn't work, i.e. I can still send by my smtp server without authentication. I presume I should receive an error message from my client telling me to use uid and pwd in order to sent, but the mail is still being send.
I had another look at the KB and found a note at "IMail - SMTP authetication" (IM-20000117-DM01), saying that versions prior to 7.0 did not work for shared IP-address Virtual Hosts which use an external user database. Well, I'm using the IMail database *and* shared IP Virtual Hosts. Last question: My POP and SMTP server do have the same name. My admin says it works correctly this way, but I don't feel this is correct - any other ISP do have different names for their POP and SMTP servers. Is this maybe related to the problem? Thanks for any help Pasquale Imbemba ______________________________________________________________________ Per te Blu American Express � gratis! http://it.yahoo.com/mail_it/foot/?http://www.americanexpress.it/land_yahoo To Unsubscribe: http://www.ipswitch.com/support/mailing-lists.html List Archive: http://www.mail-archive.com/imail_forum%40list.ipswitch.com/ Knowledge Base/FAQ: http://www.ipswitch.com/support/IMail/
