I am using the SME7.0 as a email server, and I think I turned on the secure POP3 and secure SMTP. but somehow seems like the normal smtp port is still open, so we are recieving a lot of junk mail from the user anonymous@mydomain.com.....


I don't know how to block the port 25 on that server? and if I do so, everyone is still be able to send email from port 465 with authorized accounts?

and how to block anonymous user to send any email out?

thanks a lot!!!!!!

Think you could do this

in server-manager
http://yourdomain/server-manager/cgi-bin/pleasewait?/server-manager/cgi-bin/pseudonyms
everyone Everyone(local network only)    
mailer-daemon Administrator    
postmaster Administrator    
abuse Administrator    
anonymous Administrator Modify Remove    *--remove anonymous--*

Create, modify, or remove pseudonyms
   
The server automatically creates an e-mail alias for each group. If you want to define an e-mail alias for a list of users, simply create a group and the list will automatically be maintained by the server.

Pseudonyms allow you to create other names for existing users or groups. For example, you may wish to create a pseudonym "webmaster" for your "webdevelopers" group or a pseudonym "joe" for the user "joseph".

The server automatically creates pseudonyms of the form firstname.lastname and firstname_lastname for every user on the system and a pseudonym "everyone" which contains all users on the system.

Pseudonyms also allow you to create e-mail aliases for valid (virtual) domains & users. For example you can forward "sales@virtualdomain1.com" to user "mary" and "sales@virtualdomain2.com" to user "john". You must create the domains and user accounts before creating the email aliases.

Pseudonyms can also forward to other pseudonyms, although this is limited to one further level. For example the pseudonym "webmaster" can forward to the pseudonym "techsupport" which then forwards to a specified user "ray". This is useful where one user is responsible for multiple roles and saves having to change the pseudonym's associated with that user many times in the event that the user departs the organisation.

You can modify or remove a pseudonym by clicking on the corresponding command next to the pseudonym.

check your relays.. make sure you are only allowing local ip's the ability to relay, other clients should authenticate before they are granted relay usage.

You don`t "block" port 25. How would you recieve mail from legitamate senders.
