If you closely read the man page for courier and makesmtpaccess, you'll see that you can add files in /usr/lib/courier/etc/smtpaccess for various modifications to the default BOFHCHECKHELO. For example, to allow the IP address 192.168.1.1 and the 192.168.6.0/24 network to avoid the check, you would create a new file named 'customers_with_broken_mail_server_setup' (or perhaps a shorter name :-) with the contents: 192.168.1.1 allow,BOFHCHECKHELO=0 192.168.6 allow,BOFHCHECKHELO=0 James Graves Delta Mobile Software http://www.deltamobile.com ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by The 2004 JavaOne(SM) Conference Learn from the experts at JavaOne(SM), Sun's Worldwide Java Developer Conference, June 28 - July 1 at the Moscone Center in San Francisco, CA REGISTER AND SAVE! http://java.sun.com/javaone/sf Priority Code NWMGYKND _______________________________________________ courier-users mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] Unsubscribe: https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/courier-users
