Hi all,
what's the best way to secure the smtp port ? I'm trying to auth the user
before sending mails through the server but seems I'm doing some thing wrong
somewhere.
If I turn on the following in server.tab, then i have to authorize before
sending mail to outside world but then I can not receive mail from an
outside address. the mail gets bounced with code 551 server use forbidden.
Here's the lines that are causing problem

"SmtpConfig"   "mail-auth"
"SmtpConfig-192.168.0.1"     "mail-auth"

If I comment out these two lines then I can receive mail from outside but
then my smtp server is wide open to any one.

How can I make it secure ? Any tutorial would be helpfull as I'm a newbie. I
think xmail supports pop before smtp auth method... is there any way I can
turn it on ?

Thanks in advance
R'twick
