Author: Bill Gade Date: To: exim-users Subject: [exim] Unique Relaying Problem
I have recently consolidated two email servers into one bigger email server.
The new server has its own new IP, to make things simpler for a few thousand
users, I used Xinet to forward requests coming to the old servers to the new
one. It all works great... except:
I trust the servers on my local IPs, and when an outside user connects to
one of the old boxes and is forwarded, the new box sees the connection as a
local connection instead of an outside user - that bypasses the normal relay
filtering and I am now a semi-open relay.
Does anyone have experience with how to plug that hole? I can remove the
trust for those machines, but then local users can't send email to far away
places if they still use the older ip addresses.
