To administer users look at XMail PHP Administration Interface (XPAI) its linked on the main xmailserver.org page
The default configuration (IIRC) is to only permit users to relay mail when it is 1) going to a domain on your server or 2) a user has authenticated with their username + password. This is very secure. -----Mensaje original----- De: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] nombre de Spyros Tsiolis Enviado el: Wednesday, July 16, 2003 2:34 AM Para: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Asunto: [xmail] A question to the Xmail gurus Hello list, Long time no write. This is no coincidence since Xmail rules and once I install it properly on clients' sites, it doesn't complain :-) OK ! Here is my question. I have a client with two static IP addresses : 62.1.2.3 (serial.clientssite.com) and 62.1.2.4 (say mail.clientssite.com) 62.1.2.3 is being used as the gateway to the world and since we have the luxury of an extra IP (wow ! this is something for us down here :-), we decided to administer our xmail box (v.1.5) on a slackware linux distribution tailored to our needs. I am not going to tell you guys what I have done for two reasons : a. You might be pulling your hair from your head in despair :-) b. I don't want to make things complicated (I am a complicated person eventhough I claim [and hope] not to be :-) So here's my question : ... How would you setup the xmail box in order to administrer your own users on-site ? And more specifically how would you use the MX record pointing to the site ? Please keep in mind that the whole thing is behind a linux iptables firewall and the xmail box lives in the DMZ part of it. Just to let you know. OK ! I can't resist; I'll tell you what I've done. I have 62.1.2.3 (serial.clientssite.com) for the default g/w. I have 62.1.2.4 (mail.clientssite.com) for the xmail box on the DMZ. Somehow I've done something wrong. I told the ISP to handle the xmail box as our own mail entity, so we get mail from the world directly on our port 25. I don't want this (I don't feel very comfortable with the idea of letting port 25 open to the world). The way I vision this is for the ISP to get our mail and forward it to us (store and forward ?), then us being able to talk to the world directly for outgoing mail messages. Another question arises from the above : ... if I do leave the xmail box open to the world, what are the chances of it becoming a(n) (unwanted) relay server ? Can I secure it xmail-wise so that it doesn't serve half the world too ? Any ideas ? If yes, they would be greatly appreciated. BTW which is the current version of xmail ? Is it not v.1.6 ?
