I am setting up several domains and hundreds of pop3 boxes
using Qmail and . My question is about the smtp daemon. I
need to be able to allow all users the ability to access the
mail server for the smtp feature (Imagine an employee of a
company that I am hosting for, they need a smtp server to
send mail.
I do not want to allow spammers to spoof their addresses and
to use our machine. But in the same retrospect, I need to
allow any and all IPs to connect.
I've seen in the past some smtp servers that actually
restricted the use of the server for relaying mail if the
From: @host.com did not match what it had set in its
configuration files. Yes even though a spammer can spoof
his From: @host.com address to match what I had and send
mail, I'll deal with this when it arrives. Is Qmail's smtpd
configurable to just allow mail relay if from @host.com as
specified in one of its configuration files?
If so, could someone explain (because I'm a novice at Qmail
and its documentation is very much lacking. But it's
supports group like this that make it such a good product)
the procedure to do so?
- I am not using the mailrelay thing, should I be? (How do
I? Heh)
- I've setup multiple boxes using a single UID per Paul
Gregg's directions.
- I'm using tcpserver for both smtp and pop3.
Any advice would greatly be helpful!
Thanks in advance,
Eric
