Hi all

I am having a problem with allowing a user relaying off my sendmail server/firewall. How can I configure my mail server to allow relaying of mail for a specific user without it being open to the whole world for relaying ? This user roams a lot around the world so Ip's are noit static? I am running standard Suse linux 7.1 Help I am desperate!

How sendmail is configured? Do You have an access.db? Exists an unique e-mail address for the user? Did You try to write an entry for sendmails access.db user@unique.mail.address RELAY Annette

Hi, have a look at http://poprelay.sourceforge.net/ To use this perl daemon with SuSE 7.1, you have to get the sendmail source, e.g. 8.11.6 and compile sendmail AND makemap , as SuSE 7.1 uses older db libaries for sendmail (makemap) than for perl....

What you want is smtp auth (sasl). This is reasonably difficult on sendmail (but possible) however if you have the choice, I would recomend a switch to postfix, as it is quite simple to do on postfix. While you're at it, you probably want to enable tls (ssl) also.. Let me know if you need help.. -- Viel Spaß Nix - nix@susesecurity.com http://www.susesecurity.com

Use SMTP Auth Regards, Jon On Fri, 21 Sep 2001, Wilhelm Tesnaar wrote:
