Setting of internal mail server
Contents
Internal mail server (SMTP) receives messages from mail programs and stand them in outcoming mail queue OutBox. See “Server and mail boxes” chapter to know more.
Server TCP Port
By default server is on 25 TCP-port. Don’t change the number of this port. If you change this setting then you must correct settings of your mailer too.
Allowed IPs
The masks of IP addresses which allow connecting with internal mail server. Set *.*.*.* mask if you want to allow that any computer in Internet can connect with your server and send mail through it. Set 10.1.1.* mask if you have LAN with addresses in range 10.1.1.1-10.1.1.255. You can enumerate several masks by commas, e.g. 127.0.0.1, 10.*.*.*. 127.0.0.1 is the IP address of your local computer; this address can’t be used to access to your computer from any remote computer, because it point to local machine at any machine.
Bind Address
You can specify one network interface for incoming connections. E.g., if you’ll specify 127.0.0.1 interface, then only connections from local computer will accepted. IP’s masks is more flexible solution to prevent hackers attacks, but in this case it is possible to run several different SMTP servers (by one on each network interface). If this field blank, then connections will accepted on all available interfaces.
Local Domain
Local domain of mail server, it’s recommended to replace it by your mail domain. Mail server will stand in outcoming mail queue all messages, which were sent to another domain. If you replace server domain by elcomsoft.com, then you must send message to maillist@elcomsoft.com address in order that your message get to maillist local box.
X-Server Kludge
The contents of X-Server line added to title of each message. If the line isn’t input then the kludge will be not added to message.
Set recipient email in “To:” field
Usually when you send message to mail list in “To:” field there is the address of mail list. ADR can replace this address by address of real message recipient. If mail list is CSV file then ADR substitute only recipient email. If mail list is LST or TXT file then ADR substitute WHOLE LINE with email. Look at mail list formats for details.
Detailed server log
To keep more detailed log of internal mail server working. When this option is turned on the SMTP commands will be registered in the log.
Use authentication for access to server
Set login and password for access to internal mail server. Recommended to use them for protection against hacker's invasion. ADR supports such authentication schemes as PLAIN (used by Netscape Messenger) and LOGIN (described in RFC 2554, used by Microsoft Outlook, Microsoft Outlook Express and TheBat!).
Enable EXPN command
This SMTP server’s command allow to get list of emails by mailing list name. E.g., TELNET session with request of emails from “simple” mailbox (mailbox created when you install ADR):
220 Advanced Direct Remailer ESMTP is Ready
expn simple
220-recycled1@pisem.net
220-recycled2@pisem.net
220-recycled3@pisem.net
220-recycled4@pisem.net
220 recycled5@pisem.net
quit
221 Service closing transmission channel
ADR also have four virtual mailboxes: @outbox, @sent, @bad и @stat. On request of @outbox you’ll get recipients of all messages in ADR Outbox and so on. On request of @stat you’ll get general ADR statistic:
220 Advanced Direct Remailer ESMTP is Ready
expn @stat
220-Outbox: 0
220-Sent: 41
220-Bad: 0
220-In delivery: 0
220 State: delivery stopped
quit
221 Service closing transmission channel
By default, EXPN command is turned off for security reasons.
