Greetings Folks I've just yesterday set up SIMS to run a few (currently <10) addresses for a non profit Society.
Everyone who will access the mailboxes already has a means of sending eMail through their ISPs, so they don't necessarily need to send through my SIMs. It's really set up just to allow us to set up some standard addresses for our Society that can be advertised and listed, completely independantly of the personal email address of whoever it is that has the position the eMail address relates to (eg [EMAIL PROTECTED]) So the folks need to be able to check the eMail boxes for mail received, but there is no need for them to be able to send mail through those accounts, as they can send any replies through the mail servers of their ISP using our address as the Reply to. So is there some easy setting I can make in SIMs that stops anyone sending mail through my SIMS - whether they're an account holder or not, and so therefore be sure to make sure that noone uses my server for SPAM. Currently I've got it set on the default settings in SMTP of Relay for Clients Only and Verify Return Paths both checked. Is it as easy as setting "Sending Options" to 0 TCP Channels to prevent any mail, from authorised users or not from leaving my server? Secondly, and possibly somewhat contradictorily to the above perhaps Is there some "brotherhood' of SIMS users to tap into (I know I've just sent them all an eMail <g>) in order to arrange for someone to provide secondary service to our domain? This sits on a Mac in my basement at home beside a WWW server that also provide HTML and database hosting for two non profit societies. I'd be happy to reciprocate as a secondary for some other small entity, having consideration of what I mention above regarding sending, or after recieving some pointers to make sure that my setup can send to another primary, but can do so securely in a manner that can't be abused by Spammers, and sometimes the power goes off longer than the backup UPS can provide for if I'm not here to get my generator going. Thanks for any assistance offered. Roger ############################################################# This message is sent to you because you are subscribed to the mailing list <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>.
