[GLLUG] Is my email server an open relay? Update

[Seth Bembeneck]

Ok, I got it. I can now send email through smtp.sbcglobal.yahoo.com

After some research, I found out that if the auth type is login, the data is
base64 encoded.

So I wrote a quick php script the echoed out my user name and password in
base64 and added that to /var/qmail/control/smtproutes in the form of

:smtp.sbcglobal.yahoo.com username password

Restarted qmail, every thing looks like it works now.

FYI the page I got this base64 info is
http://www.fehcom.de/qmail/smtpauth.html

Specifically under Authentication Framework

Thanks for all your help!

I talked to sbc, According to them, they aren't blocking any thing for
domain (cwhq.net).

They wondered if the place I got my domain from could be doing some
thing. I got my domain from easydns.com, with dynamic ip updating
enabled. Any thoughts on this?

Currently, I'm trying to route all mail through smtp.sbcglobal.yahoo.com
But I can't get authentication and I'm wondering if it is because my
username has "@" in the middle. See my last post for details.

Any more ideas??

Thanks,

Seth
