Hello all,
I am not just bit confused. Thoroughly confused. This is about
forwarding services. And I think that I may be wrong in my handling of
forwarded messages.
There is a domain, let's call it domain.tld which has a forwarding
service with another provider.
There is a sender, let's call him wash@???.
There is a mailbox, let's call it dropbox@???
The setup appears to me to work this this:
All mail to *@domain.tld gets delivered to dropbox@???.
The MX for this domain.tld is handled elsewhere, where the forwarding is
done.
So when wash@??? sends an e-mail to SOME_USER@???, I see
the following when the e-mail is finally being delivered to
dropbox@???:
2004-06-03 14:43:11 H=sun.mmic.net [199.166.219.7] U=foobar F=<wash@???> \
rejected RCPT <dropbox@???>: Suspected spoofed sender address. \
Please use smtp authentication to send e-mail
This is because I have a rule like this:
deny message = Suspected spoofed the sender address. Please use \
smtp authentication to send e-mail.
!hosts = +relay_from_hosts
!authenticated = *
sender_domains = wananchi.com : [62.8.64.4] : [212.49.74.4]
I suspect I am wrong here, but I don't like the idea of e-mails having
@wananchi.com coming from servers other than 62.8.64.4 or 212.49.74.4
as I have received those severally.
Either my way of doing it is simple, plausible and WRONG, or I am damn
confused.
Better suggestions are welcome.
cheers
- wash
