Hi everyone.
I have the next problem. In a Mdaemon 5.0 server someone is sending mails
to hanmail.net using one of my accounts. I want to solve that problem. I
think one of the problems is that i dont have enough seciurity when sending
mails from the server . If I want to send a mail using outlook for example
never ask me the pwd for doing that . It only asks me for the password when
receiving. How can I control the outgoing mails ?
Thanks and sorry my english.
Federico

Someone where? Someone inside? Someone outside? Using your mdaemon server as
the SMTP server, or another one? Using one of your *accounts* or merely
relaying through it?

You should be able to control who can relay mail through your server -
either disable relay or require authenticated relay, and make sure you have
good, complex passwords for all accounts. Then configure your mail clients
to authenticate to the SMTP server in the Internet mail account settings.

I don't know where you set this up in Mdaemon, but it should be in your
documentation or you should be able to find something on the web.

Internet Worms can take your email address out of ANY infected machine used
by ANYONE that has your email address. One use the Worms make is to fake a
"From: " email address. The receiving email system may detect the infection
and incorrectly notify you rather than checking the actual assigned email
address. If this is the case, there is nothing you can do, and it is not
your problem. (Well, you could email the receiving email system supervisor
and complain about the futility of sending notices to 'faked' email
addresses.

On the other hand, the message by 'Lanwrench' may apply.
