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.
Tunnel time! or VPN or a SSLed webmail.
Or the always ubiquitous ssh.
Or run the MTA on a non-standard port for this, like the already
defined for it port 26.
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.
Bleh. I always restrict relay eveywhere to the localhost. Protects
against all sorts of nastiness.
127.0.0.1/31 is CIDR block too. :)
