SMTPAUTH

From Qmail-LDAP Wiki

Jump to: navigation, search

Enables SMTP-AUTH for remote clients. Authenticated clients are allowed to relay through this server and their login is being recorded in the received line.

Default:

off

Affects:

qmail-smtpd

Example:

"TLSREQUIRED" or "" (any value will do)

Note:

  • With SMTP-AUTH remote users can use this mail server for relaying.
  • SMTP is unencrypted and auth passwords are in clear text equivalent base64 encoding.
  • With TLSREQUIRED enabled SMTP-AUTH is only accepted when the SMTP session is TLS encrypted to prevent password sniffing.
  • TLSREQUIRED requires TLS option to be compiled into qmail-ldap.
