Exim Prevent Mail Sent by Relay

linux-howto

http://serverfault.com – Currently it appears that somehow someone is using my server to send spam as I'm seeing 100's of rejection emails from other email services (such as gmail) saying the message could not be delivered "return to sender" and sent to mydomain.com. Upon investigation these email are coming via RELAY from a remote IP and not actually from the server itself (e.g. a virus etc...) Is there anything I can do to prevent someone using my mail server (exim) for relay? I have LFD on my server that monitors emails sent by relay and it's sending me the below alert. I have LFD set to block the sender if mo (HowTos)

Stories similar to Exim Prevent Mail Sent by Relay

Hi,

we have configured a external email server that relays all our mails, on the Exim configuration we have do this:

Section: ROUTERSTART smart_route: driver = manualroute domains = !+local_domains transport = remote_smtp route_list = * relay.server.com

Then, all our mails-out go to the "relay.server.com" server, and is this server who delivers it.

"relay.server.com" has th

Sendmail Access DB Scalability 1 year 14 weeks ago

Hello,

So here's what I am trying to accomplish. We have a sendmail server and we are trying to stop backscattering. One idea that we came up with to prevent this is to utilize sendmail's access database.

Basically we'd have the first line bounce all mail coming in to our mail server to users in our domain.

I want to set up a server so that I can not give out my real email to sketchy websites, kind of like a URL obfuscator for my email address.

Postfix Relay to Office365 1 year 5 weeks ago

I am trying to setup a Postfix server on a Linux box to relay all mail to our Office365 (Exchange, hosted by Microsoft) mail server, but, I keep getting an error regarding the sending address:

BB338140DC1: to= relay=pod51010.outlook.com[157.56.234.118]:587, delay=7.6, delays=0.01/0/2.5/5.1, dsn=5.7.1, status=bounced (host pod51010.outlook.com[157.56.234.118] said: 550 5.7.1 Client does not have p

I'm looking for a Windows based SMTP Relay Server which allows me to add a specific BCC field to all outgoing emails that relayed through this server.

The reason for such requirement is that we need to track if the email is actually sent. We're sending our email to end users via our cooperate email server.

Fixing Poor Email 32 weeks 2 days ago

I'm having an issue with SenderBase. My IPs are not blocked in any BLs but people who use SenderBase/Ciscos stuff do not get my emails. Is this because my email system is setup poorly?

They list the following:

Your email server or a computer in your network may be infected with malware and may be used to send spam.

My server is sending the spam email and I am not able to find out which script is sending them.

The emails were all from nobody@myhost so disabled from the cpanel that nobody should not be allowed to send emails

Now at least they are not going out, I keep receiving them. This is mail I get:

A message that you sent could not be delivered to one or more of its recipients.

Currently I have a dedicated mail-relay PS that I need to listen on multiple ports, 25 and 80. I know 80 is http, but because of the applications this is being used for it needs to be able to use port 80 to send emails as well.

Can this be done via Webmin?

I need to journal all incoming and outgoing emails. Currently emails are relayed by Edge transport server to Exchange 2010 email store.

I'd like to stick a linux server in-line with an MTA.
