I just followed this: http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/virt-mail-howto.xml last weekend and more or less went off without a hitch. This can be done with most any mta, i think. This specific info is centered around gentoo, but should translate fairly easily. Uses postfix, courier-imap, cyrus-sasl, authenticates in a mysql db, so your mail password can be different from your shell password (but you don't need a shell account, necessarilly) and also goes into squirrel-mail (peripheral for what you want though). my $0.02. >>> waynej at dccmn.com 04/18/03 08:28PM >>> I have a friend who wants to set up an e-mail server. We wants to be able to accept e-mail from outlook, etc. via SMTP from his customers. In otherwords, he needs to support relaying from other machines on the internet... Of course we don't want to set up an open relay. But we also don't know the ip addresses of the customers either, so we can't use the sendmail access table to accept mail from certain machines. Outlook, etc appears to support authentication on mail connections. Anyone know how to set this up with sendmail? Is this what sasl is used for? _______________________________________________ TCLUG Mailing List - Minneapolis/St. Paul, Minnesota http://www.mn-linux.org tclug-list at mn-linux.org https://mailman.real-time.com/mailman/listinfo/tclug-list _______________________________________________ TCLUG Mailing List - Minneapolis/St. Paul, Minnesota http://www.mn-linux.org tclug-list at mn-linux.org https://mailman.real-time.com/mailman/listinfo/tclug-list
