Hi all;
i have 2 questions if i may.
first of all, smtp-auth replaces roaming users right, well, if i
understand correctly, roaming users is users who can use a MUA outside
of the domain, or outside a subnet of IP's of the local domain, or
basically anywhere on the net, is this correct? and smtp-auth replaces
roaming users, but, it authenticates first, right? is smtp-auth built
in, or do i have to configure anything, i'm using the latest version of
qmailtoaster. i pretty much read every thread on this site, and i came
by a link on how to set up outlook, the link is http://www.itc.virginia.edu/desktop/email/smtpauth/outlookxp.html.
but,
at the end of that page, it mentions i should replace the standard smtp
port to 587, does this apply to qmailtoaster as well, or was that for
that particular site? and should i use a different port other than the
typical smtp port. sorry for all the questions.
the last question is regarding spf. i have set up my spf correctly, and
i'm using the standard setting of 3, but, someone contacted me today
that i know, and they told me that they sent me an email, and got a
bounce telling them that it was an issue of spf. i looked in my smtp
log file, and there was no mention of it. so, to make a long story
short, i set my setting to 2 instead, then did a qmailctl stop, then
qmailctl start, is this correct, or do i have to do restart another
service or build a database?
again, sorry for all the questions at once.
What that website told you
to
do is pretty much what you need to do here as well. Make sure the box
"my sever requires authentication" is ticked. QMail used to just let
you send emails if you checked your email first, but this was replaced
by logging in to send emails since this is a better method. You can
leave the box for "use same settings as incoming server" checked, and
there is no need to change ports. Many ISP's (and probably the site you
looked at as well) are blocking port 25, in the hopes that this will
reduce the amount of spam they get. Leave yours the way it is unless
you have to change it for some reason.
That SPF level (3) should have been good. Unless your friend's domain
specifically failed his message then your machine would not have
bounced it. Would it be possible to see the error message?
Here you go Jake, and thankx
all for the quick replies.
