Sure it can. One of the ways to do something like this is: [1] Configure Sendmail to *require* authentication when one connects to its `submission' port (TCP port 587), and keep using /etc/mail/access for the default listener of the `smtp' port (TCP port 25). [2] Then you can configure your `trusted' clients to connect through port 587, and let everyone else keep using port 25. _______________________________________________ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
