XMail 1.1 on Win2K
I've tried to make my newly installed server safe from potential bad-guys by requiring authorization for SMTP relaying. If I set "SMTPConfig" to "mail-auth" in SERVER.TAB, the server won't relay unauthorized messages from the outside, which is good. THe bad part is that I can't send or receive any e-mail anymore. I don't get any error message: the incoming mail never appear and the outgoing e-mail seem to be sent, but never reach their destination. I've set up SMTPAUTH.TAB with my account, but that doesn't help. What am I doing wrong, and how do I make sure that all domains will require SMTP authentication to avoid abuse? |
