Relaying advice
Hi! I need to provide users with the ability to send mail to anywhere. But since that can make my server an open relay, i was thinking of a solution where a user must receive mail before sending, thus proving that he can use the server for relaying. At this moment, qmail only accepts mail for domains listed on rcpthosts. I need some advice on how can this be implemented. If there is a better solution, also let me know. If this is well documented somewhere, let me know. TIA

What you're looking for is "selective relaying". tcpserver can let you do this for fixed IP addresses. If you need it for dynamic/roaming users, the best solution is Bruce Guenter's relay-ctrl, which you can find from qmail.org.

You need either one of the SMTP-AFTER-POP solutions from qmail.org (relay-ctl for example) or a SMTP AUTH patch - or both. Clients need to support SMTP AUTH if this is the way you want to go. -- * Henning Brauer, [EMAIL PROTECTED], http://www.bsws.de * * Roedingsmarkt 14, 20459 Hamburg, Germany * Unix is very simple, but it takes a genius to understand the simplicity.

RE: Relaying advice
i guess i'll go for relay-ctrl, as also suggested by Charles Cazabon. Anyway, i'll search for info on SMTP AUTH too, who knows if it might come handy some day. Thank u all for the advice, relay-ctrl here i go :) > -Original Message- > From: Henning Brauer [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] > Sent: quarta-feira, 16 de Maio de 2001 22:36 > To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Subject: Re: Relaying advice > > > On Wed, May 16, 2001 at 09:51:19PM +0200, Roberto Marzialetti wrote: > > > I need to provide users with the ability to send mail to anywhere.
