when you pop your mail, it open the SMTP for your IP.
If someont take your IP, your smtp is an open relay....
That's why you have to stop relaying mails quickly.
I have had this problem where I was clearing the relay_ip table after
every 10 minutes. It lead to my host being blacklisted (62.8.64.4).
I have so far cleared that although some hosts are still blocking
it (I guess stale info), but I suspect this realying caused it.
For now I have disabled relaying this way until I am sure about the
steps to take.
How often do you clear the table?
While in this situation, I though that maybe I should use SMTP auth proper.
I searched the archives and found the authenticator below (for Exim) but it
doesn't work for the Redmond products (Microsoft Outlook Express). I am yet
to test with Eudora and Netscape:
plain:
driver = plaintext
public_name = PLAIN
server_condition = "${if eq{${md5:$3}}{${substr_5:${lookup mysql{select \
password_hash from popbox where local_part='${local_part:$2}' and \
domain_name='${domain:$2}'}{$value}}}}{1}{0
}}"
server_set_id = $2
Has anyone used this ASMTP style with Microsft products? Clues??
