It will verify that the > sender address matches the address of the user or one of its alias (from user > or domain aliases). This prevents a user of your mail server from acting as > someone else If unspecified, default value is true." > However, it has been observed that when authRequired is set to false in > smtpserver.xml, if verifyIdentity is set to true, the SMTP server is > expecting that the user is authenticated to be able to verify its identity. > To stick to the documentation of James, we should reject this case on James > startup. -- This message was sent by Atlassian Jira (v8.3.4#803005) --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: server-dev-unsubscr...@james.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: server-dev-h...@james.apache.org
