I do hope you're insisting on AUTH on localhost:25, otherwise
congratulations you're an open relay on port 465 ;)

I have a similar setup to you, but I forward to port 587 which requires
AUTH. (See one of my posts from about two-three weeks ago--search for
"thanks stunnel".)


Matt: Yes, I require AUTH for all connections. Thanks. - Jim

Arrrrrgh!!! I have to admit it, I double-checked, after getting your
message, and sure enough, localhost was exempted from AUTH requirement.
I was an open relay on port 465 for almost a whole day. Fortunately, my
logs indicate no damage was done. I have modified my ACLs to correct
this (I hope). Thank you very much for encouraging me to really study
my ACLs!
