Forum OpenACS Q&A: Re: unwanted spam from my server... help.

Hey Sam,

my /etc/tcp.smtp (the only one I found on my system) apparently only allows localhost to send emails. Or am I wrong?

localhost:allow,RELAYCLIENT=""
127.0.0.1:allow,RELAYCLIENT=""

James: I am not sure if I installed smtp-auth... How can I check? How could I change this configuration now? If I remember correctly I first had qmail-1.03 installed and then switched to netqmail-1.04. That's at least what a locate for qmail-smtpd wants me to remember.

I just did a open relay test at:

http://members.iinet.net.au/~remmie/relay/

and all but one test failed:

#####

SUCCESS

Relay Accepted - final response code 250

If you dont recieve it then its not a relay (Its still a Bad Thing (TM) that it accepted)

Check your email

I didn't get an email, neither did I find this mail in my qmail queue...
