to force users to auth?

and what would it be called?

Thanks

Many thanks for the info.

I wonder, what mta do you use?
If postfix, where does all my mail go?

It installed by default one time on 
a beta, and I could not find my mail
if my life depended on it.

I don't comprehend why it just did not
setup out of the box so pine could just
retrieve all the messages.

Thankx

Sendmail 8.10 has a set of SMTP-AUTH features (smtp authentication
features). I don't use sendmail myself, so I wouldn't be able to provide
much help for you on that (personally I find sendmail ridiculously
difficult to use, and it's notoriously insecure, too).

Alternatively, you can use a pop-before-smtp solution (which, I believe,
does work with Sendmail) - you can find information about it here:

http://iecc.com/pop-before-smtp.html

This little utility forces users who want to *send* mail to authenticate
using POP3 first.

I'm using sendmail, its the only one I am capable of
using, sorry.

I tried posting this question on the newbie list
about 20 times and no response so I guess they
did not know the answer.

I have looked in linuxconf but I see nothing about
authentication on using smtp, it just said nothing.

How would I use a pop-to-smtp solosheick (screw typos sorry)
that forces them to auth?

Thanx

You need to get them to use an pop-to-smtp solution that forces them to
authenticate if they want to send e-mail.

What MTA are you using?

[expert] smtp users

2000-11-10 Thread Vic

Hello.

I have my relay controls set to block 
unidentified relayers (mostly spammers)
but I have a few pop users  (I want
to give a couple of my buddies an
e mail account) but I do not wish to
enable the whole domain to use my
smtp to send mail as they are on
one of those free isp things that
spammers might use, so I wonder
if there is a way I can allow just those
users whom I  have put on my system
only to use the smtp.

Thankx
