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.
