Title: sending mail throg sme from outside the local network ??
Post by: Sonny on April 02, 2003, 11:34:45 PM

Hi!

Is it posibil to setup the sme server to accept e-mail from outside the local network to be delivered to an outside e-mail adress ?

Eg. by haveing the user that are sending mail to do an authorization before the mail server accepts the conection...
Or have an POP_before_smtp (think that is what it is called)

Is there a tool somwhere for SME that givs the admin controle over which users are alloved to send from the outside ?

Sincerly

Nathan Fowler's pop-before-smtp simply watches for POP3 connections. When a POP3 connection is made, that IP address is given access to the SMTP server for a few minutes. It works with smtpd_check_rules, so it only works on 5.1.2 and earlier. It's not 100% secure, but it allows valid users to use the SMTP server externally, without opening it up completely.

Damien Curtain's SASL contrib actually adds user authentication and optionally SSL encryption to the mailfront SMTP connections. The user has to login with their SME username and password to access the SMTP server from outside the LAN. This works on 5.5 and 5.6.

I have set up so people can send from outside, but with a form to prevent email spamming.

http://64.114.103.192/upload_cp_ken.htm

I use it so we can forward large files between 4 locations though it can be set up for as many locations as you have users and mail can be received from outside. Each remote location is set up to receive via POP mail.

If you decide you want to create something similar the package used was free and available at http://soupermail.sourceforge.net/

I had difficulties trying to run via an ibay but from primary it works fine.
