Title: Internet access to /e-smith-password and SMPT?
Post by: Lars Thorelius on September 20, 2000, 03:25:52 AM

I use my e-smith as a mail server for a few accounts. This works perfectly, e-smith is a reliable POP3 server. Some of my e-mail clients are not within my LAN, so I would like them to be able to change their passwords from the Internet. I haven´t found a way to get access to the /e-smith-password page from the Internet. Is this not supposed to be possible?

Also, e-smith will not act as a SMTP-server for "unregistered" domains. Can this obstacle be worked around?

Regards
Lars

you could change this but then you would open yourself up to spammers to use you as a "relay".  anybody could send spam through your smtp server, it isn't worth it, you are better off going to a web based email system, like this
