Davide is the one who suggested the smtp.ipprop.tab option to me as I did not really use this tab before. I originally tried adding entries to smtprelay.tab which did not work either. > For now, Hal, I think you could use your firewall to block any 'external' > attempts to go to you Postini dedicated xmail server ip and ports ;) The problem is that I use xMail as part of my ISP service therefore customers are using xMail as their outbound eMail MTA on Port 25 from all over the place on the net therefore it is not possible to block the port. Even if I could use my firewall to block access; Postini does not have a feature to change the forwarding IP Port for the Relay nor any kind of Authorization that I know of. > IMOO another smtp.ipprop.tab parameter like "MailAuth=0" should > be created (to not change/mix 'ip checks' rules) IMOO I think of this as a Relay function so I think the smtprelay.tab is the place for the information. The docs define the purpose is to allow hosts or networks to use the server as relay. Agains the docs say using SmtpConfig-IP makes "authentication require[d] 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." However, I'm not sure why SmtpConfig-IP is locked down so hard? Maybe, another way to think about this is that a parameter needs to be added to SmtpConfig-IP to determine if the smtp.ipprop.tab or smtprelay.tab should override the "MailAuth". For example: "SmtpConfig-64.74.149.27,25" "MailAuth" "ipprop" "SmtpConfig-64.74.149.27,25" "MailAuth" "relay" Any further suggestions Francis? I just can't believe that as popular as Postini has become that I'm the first one trying to get xMail integrate with it! Anyone done this before? Davide what is our next step? I could really use a patched version of xMail to test. Thanks, Hal Dell ePodWorks.net, Inc.
