Hey There, As has been already pointed out most modern mail software includes the ability to filter relaying using POP before SMTP. Most ISP's at least where I am use it. I use it personally. I would think that an MTA as popular as postfix would certainly have some components that can be tweaked to fit your situation but in the *highly unlikely* event that postfix cannot accomodate you perhaps you could consider implementing some kind of webmail solution ie Squirrelmail or some such to accomplish your task. Webmail can be the handiest thing to have when you are in an airport with an Internet Cafe and your laptop is in the cargo hold of an airplane. **Just my two cents worth** HTH LukeK ----- Original Message ----- From: "Wayne Pascoe" <freebsd-questions@penguinpowered.org> To: <freebsd-questions@freebsd.org> Sent: Tuesday, September 09, 2003 11:48 PM Subject: Authenticated SMTP > Hi all, > > I need to provide an SMTP service to someone who travels around thie > world.
