Re: Open relay detected within your network

It is rumored that on or about 2003-01-07 11:14 AM -0800, Paul Didzerekis wrote as follows:

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:

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.

Paul

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. ;->
