I've set up a mail server, using SuSe Standard Server, and while it's now working, it appears I've also got an open mail relay running. According to what I've read in the O'Reilly Postfix book, postfix is supposed to default to not be an open relay. I've check main.cf and I can't see anything that might be causing the open relay. Any ideas, as to what I might check? I've shut down postfix, until I can resolve this problem.
Why are you allowing people outside your firewall (you do have one don't you?) to come in on port 25?? If they can't use port 25, they can't use you as a relay.
They also can't send you mail. Sort of defeats the purpose (or one of the purposes) of running a mail server, doesn't it?
1) He didn't state he was running a mail server. 2) If he is, he should know enough how to set up to prevent relaying. 3) Since he is sending mail from rogers.com, it wouldn't appear that he is running his own mail server..... -- +----------------------------------------------------------------------------+ + Bruce S.
