Hi! im using qmail as smtp. im having problems on my roaming users as you need first to define the ip address of the roaming user on the tcp.smtp before he can use our mail server as SMTP. Is there a way to bypass this rule without using an open relay process which i know is risky due to spams? I've read one time that its possible to allow roaming users to send emails thru my smtp without enlisting their ip addresses. I only need to configure qmail to use port 587 instead of port 25? Is this correct? If so, how? thanks!
You can implement roaming users in SMTP by adding Cyrus-SASL Authentication. The idea is to allow any client (IP) machine connection, but mandates authentication to send.
Google for 'SMTP-AUTH' howto. Hope this helps. -- O Plameras http://www.acay.com.au/~oscarp/tutor _________________________________________________ Philippine Linux Users' Group (PLUG) Mailing List [email protected] (#PLUG @ irc.free.net.ph) Read the Guidelines: http://linux.org.ph/lists Searchable Archives: http://archives.free.net.ph
