in my crontab for root
*/10 * * * * /usr/local/sbin/relay_allow
so every 10 minutes that is run, this is a perl program I wrote, it removes
the entries from the file once they have been there 30 minutes.
the entires in the /etc/smtp_relay_allow file look like
203.43.239.203:1002980197
ie. I can use the utc value to clear them out.
I also use SMTP AUth using cram_md5 so it is encrypted on the wire. This is
something no other users use on any of the machines I have it set up on, I
want it so I dont have to do a pop request or anything else to get the relay
ip into the file.
See You
Steve
