I have found a lack in qmail's configuration options
that I don't know how to solve.
I want to use qmail as smtp gateway. I have
configured qmail to relay mail selectively from our
mail servers. It seems to me little elegant to
manage this away qmail's control files but it really
works. Maybe I could apply Rask Ingemann
Lambertsen's patch (to add control/relayclients and
control/relaydomains files) but I don't know if it's
recommended.
However I don't know how to manage forged senders
with our own domain when it's received from
Internet. If I include our domain in
control/badmailfrom file, valid mail from our mail
servers also is rejected. Otherwhise our users could
receive mail that seems internal. DNS checking
doesn't help because our domain is valid.
I know that Internet Mail isn't authenticaded at
all, withouth using digital signatures (PGP,
S/MIME), but I think that accepting notorious forged
mail is an error and even more if could be passed
off as internal message.
Thanks in advance for your help,
David Jorrin.
