Subject: How to stop mail relaying (SPAM)
on Domino mail server
My apologies for posting a Domino problem on the
midrange list, but I felt someone must of had a similar
problem...
Our Domino mail server is being over-run with
bogus email addresses (over 400 in less than 1 hour), apparently by a spammer
attempting to use it to relay email. We searched the Domino site
which had the following solution...
Solution:
To
do this, set the following parameters on the Server Configuration
document:
1. Open the Server Configuration document for the server on which you
want to restrict relaying.
2. Select the Router/SMTP tab, and the
Restrictions and Controls tab.
3. Then select the SMTP Inbound Controls
tab, and under the Inbound Relay Controls section, set the following
values:
Allow messages from external internet domains to be sent only to the
following internet domains: <blank>
Deny messages from
external internet domains to be sent to the following internet domains:
*
Allow messages only from the following external internet hosts
to be sent to external internet domains: <blank>
Deny
messages from the following external internet hosts to be sent to
external internet domains: *
4. Stop and restart the SMTP task.
However, when we made this setting, the administrator account was
the only account able to send out email, so temporarily we have had to remove
the recommended fix, and are continuing to be bombarded with spam. Has anyone
experienced this and found a remedy? Any help would be appreciated.
