I make like this because load in primary server is so high because of blocking spam and viruses. The've been work for almost 2 years, but now there's a problem, since some of our sales person needs to sent mail through our mail server, i need to make SMTP-Auth because right now the cant do it (rcpthost not allowed or Relay access denied). So question is, can I make a standalone SMTP Server with smtp-auth without using pop / imap ? I've googling, and i only see howto make smtp-server and pop/imap in the same server.
Hi, This is for sure possible. The biggest question for you will be how will you manage the username / passwords. In your setup, probably the best way to go (but not sure how easy it will be for you, as I don't know all of your qmail and postfix setups) would be to use LDAP auth on all the servers. The one postfix can be used for 'roaming' users to send / relay their mails, using smtp auth (will probably be the same as the existing smtp server you have... I would not expect much more load by this) And the POP/IMAP would use the same LDAP directory... thus allowing you single point of administration. I have mny postfix setup to do LDAP auth, so if you need some snippets from main.cf, let me know.. I should be able to identify the most interesting parts for you.
