"By default, Postfix relays mail: from trusted clients whose IP address matches $mynetworks, from trusted clients matching $relay_domains or subdomains thereof, from untrusted clients to destinations that match $relay_domains or subdomains thereof, except addresses with sender-specified routing." If you configure your Postfix with Webmin (Install the webmin RPM then type https://localhost:10000 in a browser (NOTE https NOT http)) then you will see it is trivial to configure Postfix to restrict smtp access to named IPs Just select PostfixConfiguration>SMTP Server and put list of allowed IPs in "Restrict mail relaying". You can also run SMTP over SASL which is described in detail here http://www.mandrakesecure.net/en/docs/postfix-sasl.php It is worth taking a read of the default Postfix configuration files /etc/postfix/main.cf They are full of examples and advice. derek > -------------------------------------------- > [EMAIL PROTECTED] > ITS > Internal Extension : 5806 > Direct Dial : 0870 754 5806 > -------------------------------------------- > > -----Original Message----- > From: Derek Jennings [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] > Sent: 06 January 2003 13:15 > To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Subject: Re: [newbie] POP / IMAP e-Mail server > > On Monday 06 Jan 2003 11:24 am, [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: > > I am looking at having a POP / IMAP email server on my Home Network. > > > > The idea being it grabs email from our ISP mail accounts, into our > > respective linux system accounts' mail (using fetchmail ?? ). > > > > The email accounts will then be accessed from windows based email > > clients using either POP or preferably IMAP. > > > > Is there any software which comes with mdk 9.0 that does this ??
