RE: RE: [cobalt-users] Pop-Before-Relay on XTR

Hi Dan, you are right with your explication of the point #2. About the 
#1, someone have try to do this! On Control Panel --> Email Server---> I 
have active the POP-BEFORE-RELAY.   1) The problem is when I configure 
Outlook Express, and I don't mark the box of My Server Requires 
Authentication.    I always can send  email's to the internal users of 
the server.    For example:      If I configure on an Outlook Express, 
the admin account.    I try to send with out any passwd, to 
admin@xxxxxxxxxxxx or root@xxxxxxxxxxxx, the server let me send the 
mails.    Note: If I try to send to an external domain, the server STOP 
ME!, but for local I can send.  Some one know how to solve this problem?

No, that's not correct. With POP before SMTP they must be authenticated
in order to send, it has nothing to do with the From address unless your
Sendmail is broken.
That is so that those local domains can receive email from outside.
