Hi Folks,
i am running a 6.0.1 esmith on dynamic IP DSL for years now. It is doing fine.
But for obvious reasons some of the big mail-providers reject mails send over dynamic-IP Accounts even if it is valid mail destinated to a regular user at that domain.
My DNS-Provider of course offers a mailbox, but this is only for POP/SMTP or IMAP.
But i do not want this, because then SPAM-ASSASSIN, ASSP and CLAMAV will not check/filter my incoming mail.
Any Ideas?

Hi,
as far as I know, there are two solutions :
1) Use the SMTP of your provider as smart host for your SME server. No change on your computer(s) on your LAN, but SME send all mail to your provider SMTP server (witch should be allowed to send mail to big mail-provider ;-) ) . This change nothing for incoming mails, so all antivir solution should be OK.
2) Use externals mailboxes, but use the (new ;-) ) Fetchmail contrib to retrieve externals mail on your SME server. Your antivir solution should also be OK.

I will try that one. Which ist the new fetchmail contrib? Will it pass mails to CLAMAV?

The new fetchmail contrib is one I just writted :-)
you can find it here (http://www.schirrms.net/sme/SMEFetchMail.php)
Fetchmail works as a preprocessor for qmail, and as such, it should work with clamav (it use the same way as others incoming mails, as it connect locally to the SMTP port to deliver mail).
