Re: Witango-Talk: FW: Witango 4 and POP3

That is what I do. I just set up the smtp server on each witango  
server, and allow connections and relay from 127.0.0.1 only. So each  
witango has its own smtp server. But the smtp servers are blocked to  
all else, it is very simple to setup.

Don't know anything about Windows, but can't you allow relaying

authentication on all other ports? Then your witango service on the

(which BTW would block you from sending email to me).  Likewise, if  
your Witango servers are on other fixed IPs.

This is easy with postfix; so I presume it is do-able with Windows.

Thanks for the suggestions, but I'm still having trouble.

If I set up the mail server as an open relay, I can send messages  
out, but
only to addresses in our own domain. And we instantly get spammers  
using the
open relay.

If I set it up to require authentication I get the following error  
from
Witango4: [Error] [16] -326 An invalid From address was specifed.

From Witango5 I get: [Error] [17] -326 An invalid From address  
was specifed.
Error addressing email from <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>: 530  
5.7.3 Client
was not authenticated

How do I set the SMTP server up to trust the Witango servers? It's  
on the
same machine as the Witango5 service.

Thanks
Dave

I don't know if this helps, but we had to specify the IP address  
of our mail
server *and* use the port 587.

The only problem we _had_ (and fixed) was sending FROM a domain not
registered by our mail server.

All email must be from a valid domain. If using any person's email  
for
messages, make the "from:" be the valid domain and set them as  
"reply-to"
(custom header) and probably as CC or BCC.

No idea on the secure POP3 issue.  You will see the protocol  
chatter in
@@results, which might help you understand what is going on.

One common spam defense for mailservers (SMTP servers) is to deny
"forwarding" (i.e. you are trying to send mail to a user at another
domain,
so the SMTP server will need to forward the message.)  You might  
want to
try
configuring your SMTP server to "trust" the Witango server.   
Again, you
will
see more information in the resultSet.

  Hi,



  Does anyone know how to configure Witango4 to connect to a POP3  
server
that requires secure authentication?

  We're using Win2003 and the POP3 server that comes with it.

  The weird thing is that we can send messages out to our own  
domain, but
not to any other domain, such as gmail or hotmail.

  Any suggestions would be appreciated.



  Thanks

  Dave Shelley
