I have an OS10.3.8 server that I currently run smtp for local host only. I
want the ability to give my roaming laptop users a dedicated smtp server for
when they travel.
Well sorry to p!ss on your parade but you have an issue to solve here
first, namely most wifi hotspots in traveler locations block the SMTP
port. So they're not likely to be able to talk SMTP to your server.
I have setup smtp to work with authentication but when I
add ssl some clients have problems.
Most likely those clients can't do SSL.
But SSL and SMTP AUTH are two different beasts.
Is cram-md5 a secure enough method for
users to authenticate to my server?
Depends on who you ask.
Some users will be using their account
passwords that they use to log into my lab machines.
Such passwords are used by cram-md5, et al, to authorize and authenticate.
Additionally is their a way to allow the local host to relay without
authentication but allow others to only send if authenticated? Please note
that the server does not host imap or pop services.
Yes, you generally define which CIDR blocks can relay w/o restriction.
How all this get's implemented will depend on what MTA you're using.
Are we to assume you're using the postfix supplied by Apple?
