I'm wondering about that discussion. Postfix as it is preconfigured with openSUSE (since some versions already) is only listening on the local loopback interface if the config is not changed.
Meaning it is accepting msgs for delivery only from localhost, but it will deliver them worldwide. I think the default should be that it accepts for delivery only msgs which are sent to localhost.
Ok, but, is that dangerous? :-? I don't think the hack is easy, postfix is designed to send worldwide. The danger I see is that mail will be usually rejected. Or if the user is a spammer, but then the configuration will not be a problem for him - but they don't use linux, I think, or techniques like temporarily rejecting emails with try later would fail. - -- Cheers, Carlos E.
