    Mercury Relaying message from other Domain?

    Hi,

    I have mercury installed in my server as MTA for our domain. (let's called it domain A).

    These few days, i found out that the mercury also sending email from other domain (B, C, D, E).
    I have tried to put rules, which say if the send is not from domain A, then delete the message immediately.

    But still i got a lot of email from other domain (B,C,D,E) which delivered using my Mercury server.

    Any idea why is this happening?

    Djo.

    It sounds like you are an open relay - are these coming from outside or from your own network?

    Go to the MercuryS configuration screen and on the 'Connection control' tab ensure the top 2 checkboxes are ticked in the 'Relaying control' section.

    That should stop outside connections relaying through your server.

    Hi,

    The message come from outside network.

    I have now tick 3 checkboxes :

    * Do not permit SMTP relaying of nonlocal email

    * Use Strict Relaying instructions (see help)

    * Authenticated SMTP connections may relay mail

     Hope this will work.

    Thanks for the advise.
