Topic: SMTP Outside

[tad1214]

I need to enable regular smtp and pop3 to the outside world with no encryption. How can I do this? I placed a "inside" network of 0.0.0.0/0.0.0.0 and POP3 works but smtp only responds on the original subnet.

Thanks!

SMTP is already available to the outside world, with no encryption - that's how email arrives. But outside connections are not permitted to relay email - for good reason.

I hope you are not seeking instructions on how to set up an open mail relay. And if so, I hope that no-one provides you with those instructions.

As a matter of fact it is to relay from the outside world. WITH smtp auth. It was for a competiton I was in this weekend and I was trying to use sme server as an alternative to exchange. SMTP wouldn't send any text back outside of the original subnet (via telnet ip.ad.dr.es 25) The scoring engine didn't support tls or ssl, and they needed to send internal emails. I am not setting up an open relay, even though it wouldn't have been a huge deal being that it was in a controlled seperated lan.....
