It is rumored that on or about 2003-01-07 11:14 AM -0800, Paul Didzerekis wrote as follows:Neil,
Thanks for the suggestion, but the backup is Not in the Client list of the primary. The only thing that I changed to close the relay was to remove this line:Paul
3-rivers.com = 3-rivers.com.smtp
from the router on the backup.
There is obviously a bug in SIMS that opens a relay if that line is in the router.
If this is true, then if I put:
mail.eton.ca = 3-rivers.com.smtp
in my router table your SIMS box would relay. How can this be true? (I hope it is NOT!!) My thinking here is that 3-rivers.com.smtp can't distinguish between foreign hosts unless you have told it to somehow.
Can anyone else with cascaded SIMS boxes confirm this? I run just one lowly server. ;->

You would also have to have the DNS setup to specify that an MX is for a certain domain.
Also note that that line was in my Backup machines router (as I was told it should be) Not the primary. So if you put that in your primary router it would not have any affect.
