Is there a SMTP relay server howto?


Hey all.

I was asked if it possible to make a SMTP relay server, ie on a Debian or BSD? That is a dedicated SMTP relay server.

Are there anything like a howto?

Best regards

Are you talking about building a server where anyone can send mail to anyone else (not usually a good idea without controls)? Or are you using the term differently? There's info on controlling smtp relaying with sendmail on the sendmail site that should be useful.

Hey Steve.

No. Not anyone should be able to send, but to anyone, yes.

Best regards
