Does anyone know how to force SMTP to send local mails only?

Hi,

Is anyone know how to set SMTP to send local mails only? That is, how to reject non-local mail? I remember e-smith used to have this kind of security feature before. But when I tried SME 6.0.1 recently, all non-local mails were sent out. Thank you for any help.

E-smith must try to send out non-local mail, that is mail not destinated to yourdomain.com. If you do not internet-mail, you should perhaps use the server-only mode.

E-smith blocks or even rejects mail, that is not adressed to a valid mailbox at your domain. That is configured in the "email-settings" at the server-manager. You can even force to reject spam-mail, before it enters your system by using mailfront. See big HowTo here at contribs.org.
