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 ?
