RE: SMTP open relays

I don't believe that you can close the relay on cc:Mail. Windows NT
Option Pack 4 has a smtp server that can block relays. Or use Linux BSD
etc. If you have an extra computer you can use it for your inbound mail.

        Subject:  SMTP open relays

        Hi all,

        A company I support have a Lotus cc:Mail Link to SMTP outside a
firewall (we
        won;t go into why!!!) the version is 8.00.00 build 44. Running
on Mircosoft
        Windows NT 4.0 Workstation. SP3.

        I has been reported in the orbs database as an open mail relay.
        (www.orbs.org)

        I have checked both the Lotus cc:Mail support pages and any
links available
        from the orbs web pages but have found no references on how to
prevent the
        SMTP link from being an open relay.

        Any help would be muchly appreciated (by the end of the year
they will be
        behind a fire wall but...)
