Mail issues.
Basically, i have a simple pop3 daemon setup. Teapop with sendmail.
in /etc/mail
I have my
local-host-names
virtualusertable
access
all of those configured. The problem is, i want to give out free email accounts to a bunch of my friends.
Since i have this all running.I figured, lets say my friend joe wants
joe@clocker.com
I Figured i would go about it this way
adduser joe -d /dev/null -s /bin/false (or no shell)
passwd joe
echo "joe@clocker.com joe" >> /etc/mail/virtaulusertable
and then id be set ?
I'm assuming this is how you would go about it
But my problem is that when i tried to send mail for my own account
it wouldnt let me
i had to put my IP in /etc/mail/access
Why? I am pretty sure it is to prevent other people from using my smtpd ?
relay issues ?
If so thats fine. But. I don't want to add each and every one of my friends IPS, but at the same time I dont want other hosts etc using my smtp server
??
Can someoen clear my confused mind.
Am i even going about things the right way?
I have teapop running in the bg.
The most work that neeeds to be done here is sendmail issues
Please don't reply with "Why don't you use qmali"
I do use qmail, but I also would like to learn other things. I'm just trying to figure this all out.
If anyone can help that'd be great
thanks
