turn off authentication from the local network
« on: November 27, 2010, 08:47:11 PM »
after the last update (sme8b6) it's impossible to send email using the smtp server

How can it be turned off and work with microsoft outlook 2003 the way it don't need to use tls/ssl in local network
like it was before the last update.
and yes I know this is a security risk to turn off, but I need it urgent.

Problem:
We do lot of scan to email from our printer and cannot be set to use either tls/ssl on port 465 (can only use port 25 without ssl)
mail cannot be sent anymore

We use winzip and mail cannot be sent anymore

the error message is "the message cannot be sent, 550 Relaying denied"
the server is i serveronly mode and used as mail server. It has worked that way for years now.

I have read this bugs and tread

If you are running SME Server 8 you should know it is in beta, which means that you should not use it on mission critical systems. By nature of beta things might change more abrupt than in our stable release. You should therefore monitor the development process to make sure what changes are to be applied with the updates or what is to be expected in the future.

You should be able to set authentication to disabled through the e-mail panel of your server-manager, look for SMTP authentication.

I would add that OP should remove "!URGENT!!" from the subject.. this is a forum, not an helpdesk.. ;-)

Perhaps OP can replace it with "!THANKS!!" ;-)

I've done this on my SME 7.5.1 server - maybe it will work on 8b6:
Code: [Select]
mkdir -p /etc/e-smith/templates-custom/var/service/qpsmtpd/config/peers/local
cd /etc/e-smith/templates-custom/var/service/qpsmtpd/config/peers/local
echo \#tls disabled by custom template > 04tls
signal-event email-update

If you have any problems, undo with
Code: [Select]
rm -f /etc/e-smith/templates-custom/var/service/qpsmtpd/config/peers/local/04tls
signal-event email-update
