Will the above have any effect to those currently connected? I'm assuming a yes answer and that everyone that sends email must first submit a password, correct?
What means curently connected?
Sorry, I don't think I answered that correctly. I mean that if I make a change right now, everyone using the server will have to change their Outlook settings in order to send mail. ???
I can send and receive emails from home.
Yes, over permit_mynetworks.
Have you got sasl configured yet?
Yes
But not for Postfix, it is disabled and not used in your main.cf below. How do you have configured sasl?
Sorry, I can't remember. I had someone help me and he's on vacation.
Everyone who sends a mail gets an "AUTH..." Header in the EHLO from your Mailserver and normal the client do an authentication, but if a negative result rejects the client decides the smtpd_recipient_restriction in Postfix. The First line is permit_mynetworks, all clients in mynetworks come through without the right password.
I just setup mynetworks last night. Everything seems to work fine. I can send through home without a problem. My thought behind this all this work is so security sake. Have I gone too far?
Hmm, your security based on an ip. This is fakeable. If a spammer knows this ip, he could send Mails over your Mailserver.
So I guess I should get this setup.
