OK I have found my hole.

[xmail] Re: Open Relay & SPAM
Here are the options you have Within server.tab: [EnableAuthSMTP-POP3] Enable SMTP after POP3 authentication (default on). With this option whenever a user connects to check his mail (POP3) he is authenticated for a small period of time to send mail from his IP with SMTP to relay messages. You should enable this option if you want, otherwise you must check the box on your email software "my SMTP server requires authentication" so each time a user connects to the server to send a mail the software will first send a username and password and be permitted to relay messages to other servers. If no username and password are used, then mail can only be delivered to users that are defined on your server. [mail-auth] authentication required to send mail to the server. Please note that by setting this value everything requires authentication, even for sending to local domains, and this is probably not what you want. With this option SMTP authentication is *REQUIRED* to send any mail to the server. This is not the option you want, since it will deny other servers to connect to yours and deliver mails to local users. If you enable this option its sort of like locking the mail man out of your apartment building, noone can get their mail because the mailman does not have a key and cannot get in to deliver your mail. You need to understand that what you want to restict is being on open relay, that is spammers can connect to your server and send massive amounts of spam to users on other servers. Spammers will always be able to connect directly to your server and send spam mails directly to the users on your server, since that is the only way possible to handle mail. -Mensaje original- De: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] nombre de Multisoft Solution Enviado el: Wednesday, July 16, 2003 4:19 PM Para: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Asunto: [xmail] Re: Open Relay & SPAM Could you give me the example how to do it in detail?

[xmail] Re: open relay
0 is the correct setting. Notice how on the relay test it says: >>> RCPT TO:<[EMAIL PROTECTED]> The server should always accept messages for your domain! Relay meaning that the server accepts messages that should arrive at a server other than your own. The only case you want that to happen is if your users need to send email via SMTP from your server, in which case they use their password EnableAuthSMTP-POP3 means that if they checked mail with POP3 there is a window of time where they can send messages (based on IP?) withouth having to auth. -Mensaje original- De: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] nombre de Benny Enviado el: Tuesday, March 04, 2003 6:24 PM Para: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Asunto: [xmail] Re: open relay You are right Seth, and of course that makes sense.

Well what's really happening is this: when you have: "EnableAuthSMTP-POP3""1" then smtp opens for a brief period whenever the pop is logged into (i seem to remember .9 seconds being the default - 9 tenths of a second). when you have: "EnableAuthSMTP-POP3""0" smtp is never opened and must always be authenticated (unless the ip is in your smtprelay.tab file) -Seth -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Behalf Of Benny Sent: Tuesday, March 04, 2003 3:24 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [xmail] Re: open relay You are right Seth, and of course that makes sense.

[xmail] Re: open relay
When you perform the test, you have to tell the test email to send to an email address that is NOT handled by the server you are testing. If you register at abuse.net, there is a check box i think to have them generate an email address to use for the test. it will still send the results to the address you specify. The reason the server looked like an open relay is that it accepted the test mail, but it accepted the test mail because it was addressed to a domain handled by the server. -Seth -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Behalf Of Benny Sent: Tuesday, March 04, 2003 3:11 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [xmail] Re: open relay Here is the email I get from the test site http://abuse.net - This is a test of third-party mail relay, generated via the Network Abuse Clearinghouse at http://www.abuse.net.

The server was set up using the configuration files. And once everything seemed in order, the system went live. It would seem there was an error within the relaying settings.

Right, I knew some were indexed and some not, so I figured I'd take the safe route and restart while I was playing with the smtp settings. I use CtrlClnt all the time for domain, user & alias maintenance though.

[xmail] Re: Open Relay
I was testing by creating an alternate account in my client (but not on the server... [EMAIL PROTECTED]) and I tried to email a message from [EMAIL PROTECTED] to my hotmail account via my server. It kept working for quite some time, so either I didn't stop/start xmail (which I'm sure I did in fact do) or it was caching smtp after pop3 authentication info (which I suspect more, but care not at this point becaue it *works*). Thanks for the attempt to help though, it is appreciated.

[xmail] Re: Open Relay
BAH! Ok, I've got it figured out now. For handy reference for other people: 1) Setup smtprelay.tab to be empty (or include only those IP addresses you need to allow, such as your local subnet). 2) Do not set SmtpConfig to mail-auth (leave it blank) 3) Set DefaultSmtpPerms to at least "MR" 4) THERE IS NOTHING ELSE TO DO!!! Step 4 is where I kept going wrong. I presumed that when the documentation referenced setting up Smtp Authentication, there was something in *Xmail* itself to configure. It's only the client. If a client authenticates, it will get the permissions automatically, nothing else to do. My bad. Thanks for all your help Davide, and in making such an excellent program available to the world.
