[Cialug] SMTP Relay

[Roach, John]

Hmm, I am just using sendmail with the authorization protocols, and then enabling a username and password with the outgoing mail auth settings in the client. Here is a link to the sendmail info on It.

Speaking of smtp... what are people doing for allowing remote smtp
authentication? I'm using pop-before-smtp. It kinda works, but has
problems. To use it, I have to start my email client, the send an email
to myself (or anyone at my domain). If I don't do this, and try to send
an email to anyone outside, I get a relaying denied message. After a
while (30 minutes or so) the session times out, and I'll start getting
the relaying denied message. I have to close the email client and start
it again, and send myself another message...
