Title: SME 6.0 and Webmail
Post by: crb on January 22, 2004, 07:54:28 PM

I suspect that there is a simple solution to this.

For all messages that I send from the SME webmail interface the message source header contains the private network IP addresses (192.168.xxx.xxx) of the client machine. This is first seen in the X-Originating-IP field.

Nearer the top of the header message It also contains the SME Private IP address and the client hostname. Not good.

How I first noticed this was that I was receiving Security Notification messages from my Firewall for Port scans with a source IP trying to connect to a 192.168.xxx.yyy address.

Does anybody know how I can avoid publishing the information when using SME webmail. Incidentely it does not occur when sending mail using Outlook Express 5.5 mail client.

Any help is will be appreciated. :lol:

Title: Not showing private IP

Probably because your client using local dns, instead of your ISP dns. Is your /etc/resolv.conf on the client contains only local dns (in this case the IP of the SME box?). I'm not 100% certain that changing it to ISP dns in /etc/resolv.conf will prevent the private IP showing from email header. Worth a shot however!
