oh, friend
you might encount the problem with anonymous user
relay, those users send mail with your "free" server,
you must close it as soon as possible,
if not, someone is likely to send spam with your
server, that is not the worst ,the worst is that
the destinations of the spam email will repay your
kind "free server", such as email bombs are going to
foist into your server......
i can give you some advice, find out the "free" users and their
IPs, shield them.
if you apply tcpserver,.look /etc for tcp.smtp
set as following:
127.0.0.1:allow,RELAYCLIENT=""
192.168.:allow,RELAYCLIENT=""
:allow
and then translate the file into cbd format:
# tcprules tcp.smtp.cdb tcp.smtp.temp < tcp.smtp
you can see
/usr/local/bin/tcpserver -v -p -x /etc/tcp.smtp.cdb
in /service/qmail-smtpd/run
it allow local user--->127.0.0.1
and 192.168.0~254
Good luck!
