/etc/smtp is the file which controls SMTP access

 

Is is correct that it should contain the following only:

 

127.:allow,RELAYCLIENT=""

 

Someone recommended that I include the following:

127.:allow,RELAYCLIENT=""

:allow

 

 

This allows only the localhost to “inject mail via SMTP” (Quote from lwq section 2.8.2.3)– what exactly does inject mean?  Does it mean only localhost can connect to SMTP in order to attempt authentication / relaying, or does inject mean that it’ll relay without authentication?

 

Thanks,

j
