My ISP wrotes me that I have a OPEN RELAY...
Can any one helping me... to close the gap in my e-mail server.
Use Yast to set up your mail transfer agent, it is in Network services
category. In the last screen you have a check box at the top that reads
something like "allow incoming connections". That should not be checked
as you do not want to be receiving mail from outside unless you are
using your machine as a mail server, and then you must carefully read
the manual that comes with postfix and figure out yourself how to
configure it. This will not stop you reading your mail as kmail
probably uses pop or imap to fetch the mail which will not be stopped.
You should also activate the Firewall to block incoming connections. It
can also be done from Yast.
Regards,
Gulli
