Title: Re: [courier-users] Authenticated client SMTP connections for clients only

I’m pretty sure that you do not want to set “AUTH_REQUIRED” to “1” in the “etc/esmtpd” file. This will cause every client that connects to the SMTP port to authorize, and like you say, you won’t be able to receive mail any more.

In “etc/smtpaccess”, you can put a list of addresses that can relay mail (you probably just want your IP address in there). When a user is authenticated, their mail should be accepted for relaying regardless of their IP address.

In “etc/esmtpacceptmailfor.dir” you can list the domains that you are accepting mail for.

You have to run the tools to recompile the dat files before these changes take effect.

Good Luck,

I have Courier 0.38.1 installed, LDAP + IMAP and SMTP are working. I want to enable my clients to send Emails through courieresmtpd from ANY IP address as long as they are authenticated. I set the following options in esmtpd config file to do this:

AUTH_REQUIRED=1
AUTHMODULES="authdaemon"
ESMTPAUTH="LOGIN CRAM-MD5"

Now my clients are able to send out Emails by configuring outgoing mail with authentication.

The problem is, we cannot receive Email because even server connections require authentication. Is there a way to turn off server authentication connections or am I missing something here?

Thanks.
