SMTP is a two-sided coin: inbound and outbound.

(I expect, but haven't actually tried it) This setting is used to control outbound SMTP, which does require authentication. So with smtp access closed, the user should be unable to *send* messages.

In order to block inbound for an account, I think you could either use the -b (bounce email) flag, or add the email address to the badmailto file.

Hello List,

I have user on a client's Qmailtoaster (32bit CentOS, all packages
current) for
whom I've disable SMTP access using qcontrol.

I issued the following command to yield user info (select output
included):

#./vuserinfo [email protected]

.
.
.
smtp access closed
.
.
.


Yet, there are recipients that have received legitimate mail from this
disabled account and it shows in my SMTP log.

SMTP log is as follows:

.
.
.
... spamdyke[28140]: ALLOWED from:[email protected] to: ...
.
.
.

Does anyone know how this could be happening with smtp access closed for
user [email protected]?

Eric
