Title: SMTP Authorized Login needed
Post by: Arby Edi on May 25, 2002, 02:01:36 AM

I know SMTP relaying is blocked by default, but how can I:

1- Open up SMTP on a port other than port 25 (this is for those stupid ISP's which block port 25).

2- Allow SMTP relaying (or using theSMTP at all) by users with valid logon and password only.

This is urgent please.

I would use the document found here:

This will allow you to use SMTP over Port 465

Has anyone tried this and is it successful?  I see in the notes that it does not do the authenticated logon before sending/relaying....or is that part done now?  Or am I just totally lost?

Has anyone tried using other smtp daemons that require auth?  Of course I'm still new, but are we using qmail?  If so, isn't there something out there called qmail-smtpd-auth or qmail-smtpd-requireauth which is a patch to allow for authentication?

Doing this will prevent you from receiving e-mail from the 'outside' : Mail Exchanger (MX) record in DNS zone cannot include information about which port to use (DNS only manage name and IP, not ports), so external MTA trying to send mail to your domain WILL use port 25, and there's no way to make it different.
