SMTP relay entries

linux-howto

http://serverfault.com – By default, my mail server (Snow Leopard) contains an entry to only accept SMTP relays from 127.0.0.0/8. However, when I attempt to check the option and save, the computer unchecks it. When I change the IP address to just 127.0.0.0, I don't experience the unchecking problem. There are two possible solutions: either do you know what is causing the unchecking problem (or which configuration file should I edit to manually do this?), or is it acceptable to simply only have 127.0.0.0 as the IP address?

Stories similar to SMTP relay entries

I'm testing a new installation of an SMTP server under IIS. I am running Windows Server 2008 R2 Standard 64 bit. Enabling the SMTP feature installs IIS6 and sets up an smtp server within it.

I want to use this to relay SharePoint email to my Google Apps accounts.

I have a customer who has recently begun using GFI Mail protection and archiving to take care of some legal requirements to archive e-mail.

We seem to have the incoming working fine. We changed the MX records to reflect the GFI mail servers. However, I need to force my cpanel server to send e-mails from their domain to the gfi outbound smtp server.

Hi,

Hoping someone can help me configure this.

I have assigned a dedicated IP and setup a DNS for mail.domain.com to the dedicated IP address.

Now mail.domain.com is used to send email (SMTP). However, when I look at the headers of the received email, it is the domain and IP address of my primary reseller domain.

I want the IP address and domain to be sent from mail.domain.com in the headers.

smtp not working in icedove 1 year 17 weeks ago

I have tried to load evolution mail but weird things happened (like in the install sequence it said "click on the Forward button" but there isn't one!). So I have installed icedove. Everything is OK except that it will not accept my smtp address - even though I can use that same address on another computer.Any ideas?

I have a very strange problem after moving my netwave.be domain from WebHost4Life to Arvixe.

I configured several email adresses, like steven@netwave.be and sandra@netwave.be.

For POP3 I can use mail.netwave.be, a mailserver hosted by Arvixe.

However, for SMTP I have to use relay.skynet.be.

Using an non-auth smtp relay works fine.

setting up a smtp relay that needs authentication results in the from address (either via sendmail, or web forum software) being my authentication username inside /etc/postfix/sasl_passwd

Forum software is set to send the from address as donotreply@

Am I missing something?

I have a home broadband network which I also run an email server. As my provider won't give me a fixed ip address, and most servers refuse to accept smtp mail from dynamic ip ranges, I felt the simple solution we'd be to run a VPN between a virtual server I already have and my email box.

I've done that fine, I installed openvpn and that connection is fine.

We have a shared exchange mailbox with multiple SMTP addresses; foo@company.com, bar@company.com, baz@company.com and so on.

When a user replies to a mail in this mailbox we want the from: field to default to the address the original mail was sent to; so if a mail was sent to bar@company.com the reply should come from bar@company.com and not the default foo@company.com.

Users can change the from
