Anyone can help with this thread??  thanks

I don't think anyone has any idea how to do it with 5.5 yet. Nathan responded, and affirmed that many people are a bit puzzled, but aparently he ran afoul of the powers that be in the process, and I haven't heard from him since.

I was trying to figure out the CVM authentication required to get the authenticated SMTP running, but not being a strong linux user, I'm a bit nervous about killing my server...  

I'm also trying to find my old qmail books to see if I can find some way to use the qmail configuration files to set it up.

I would suggest installing 5.1.2 and using his Nathan's pop-before-smtp with obtuse. (funny the front end with the most documentation was "obtuse")  

Sorry, but that's all I've got for now....

Under 5.1.2 this can be accomplished using custom smtpdcheckrules.  This doco may help get you started:

SME 5.5 does not use smtpdcheckrules so I do not know if this is possible.

For any user which you want to protect from receiving external mail, go to a root shell prompt, and do:

/sbin/e-smith/db accounts setprop xxx Visible internal
/sbin/e-smith/signal-event user-modify xxx

This is true whether you are using version 5.1.2 or version 5.5.

I think you misread Charlie.  Edgar stated:

> only can send mail to my own domain, just internal,

AFAIK, setting the property internal restricts the user from receiving external mail however it permits external sending.  Edgar wants to restrict the user to receive/send internal only.  I know smtpdcheckrules can handle this as per my reply.  I do not know if SME 5.5 and mailfront can offer anything similar.  If it can, please share your knowledge of how
