RE: [cobalt-users] [cobalt-users]RaQ4R - SMTP



On Thu, 26 Jul 2001 20:51:38 -0400, Dan Kriwitsky mumbled something 
like:
>>Unless you put in some domains like aol.com to allow relay, and

>>POP before SMTP, nobody should be able to relay through your SMTP.

Dan is right. The way your box is set up now, no one will be able to 
relay through your box. 
If you follow the other advice you've been given in two previous 
emails and turn on Pop before SMTP, then people WILL be able to SMTP 
through the box - anyone with an account can send email through once 
they've checked their mail. (Even if they don't use email on the box, 
it still gives them a POP box by default when the account it made).

(Yeah yeah, I know - I forgot to turn the filter back on when I moved 
back over to 98 and reinstalled Poco.)
