Topic: SME6.0b3 intercepting SMTP traffic

[Gyula Voros]

How do I get the SME server to *stop* intercepting SMTP traffic? Qmail seems to catch all attempts to connect to an outside SMTP server... which is a problem for me since I'm on a residential connection and many hosts are now refusing e-mail from my SME box.

I don't want to set it to deliver to a specific SMTP server (eg. my ISP's) - in any case from what I've been seeing on the forums there would be problems with authentication. I want the client program to choose the SMTP server. This worked fine in previous versions of SME, as far as I'm aware, the request was just routed through the gateway...

Thanks,

Until we make it configurable, this should work.

[root@sme1-60 root]# mkdir -p \
    /etc/e-smith/templates-custom/etc/rc.d/init.d/masq
[root@sme1-60 root]# touch \ /etc/e-smith/templates-custom/etc/rc.d/init.d/masq/{35SMTPProxy,90adjustSMTPProxy}
[root@sme1-60 root]# /sbin/e-smith/expand-template \
    /etc/rc.d/init.d/masq
[root@sme1-60 root]# /etc/init.d/masq restart

Note that this was done to prevent worms and viruses from talking to external smtp servers to propagate themselves.

Works for me. You must have something else installed.
