Here's some more on 'AllowHosts' and 'DenyHosts': http://wiki.contribs.org/DB_Variables_Configuration#Additional_information_on_customizing_iptables

I don't know if the service you need to modify is 'smtpd', or 'qpsmtpd', though, so I don't know if you need to do
 config setprop smtpd AllowHosts a.b.c.d

or
 config setprop qpsmtpd AllowHosts a.b.c.d

Thank you very much guys, what I need is to block all IP's (except one) to send mail to my server, and when my server send email, i want it to do it by other server (same) this server is external, not in local network.

You're links are very useful i will study them and post if i get any result.

again, thx

> the sme ver is 6.0.1-01, i cannot upgrade at this time...

The db commands mentioned are not supported in sme6.x, so your option is to do it some other way, or to upgrade to sme7.
As sme6.x is technically insecure now, why are you waiting to upgrade. It should be a relatively straightforward process, as long as you follow the upgrade "rules", see wiki.

I bet you will find the time to upgrade real quickly after your sme6 server gets hacked, so why not do it now and save the hassles you may additionally have in the event a hack occurs.

Thx Ray,

I think i will plan an upgrade to next week to this server, the owner doesn't want to, but i will put some pressure on this.

Where can i find the upgrade process? this server has lots of contribs installed, this make upgrade little difficult isn't it?

Well, thx again.

Find all the correct contribs before you start & uninstall incompatible ones as well as custom templates etc. Read carefully first.

The server update was success, now i need to set the configurations about blocking IP's to send e-mail to my server, and also, my server has to SMTP throw other SMTP server (external).

Thanks for any help
