[e-smith-devinfo] Delegate mail server in server-only mode

2001-12-19 Thread Darrell May
It appears the delegate mail server function only works if the SME server is in server-gateway mode. Testing has been done on SME5.1B3 only. I have a scenario whereby a client wants to use an SME server for one sole dedicated purpose. To act as a mailrelay/virus scanning server to their Exchan

[e-smith-devinfo] QOS or rate-limiting?

2001-12-19 Thread Lionel
Any plans to provide support for Internet connection rate-limiting on a per service or per user basis? Failing that, does anyone have any ideas on how one might cleanly configure rate limiting on an E-Smith v4.12 or SME 5.0 box? Traffic stats on Internet & LAN services (ala MRTG) would be very n

Well the idea was also to log these ports/alert someone deny all, then allow what you want is the best way to get security. However in this case we are talking inside to out and opposed to letting the outside in. As such I see security as less of an issue in the traditional sense. What you

[e-smith-devinfo] Suggestion for 5.1beta4 - Squid - 90NeverDirect

2001-12-19 Thread Craig Foster

Why not remove the default IPMASQ rule, forcing all internal machines to go through the relevant servers? Eg mail & squid (maybe use transproxy), and it blocks any other services internal to your network, and stops machines' programs *not* setup to use your mail & squid services from being able to

Its one thing to trap mail to a known destination like the problem Kees was having but to stop mail being sent from a machine that is allowed to send mail, how would this work? One way is to put a STOP button on the SME mail server, you go to a web page, log in and hit the mail sending "STOP"/"STA
