If you use a mail clients that connects to port 25 on localhost in order to
send mail, then that's what you have to do.
2) How do I make ESMTPD-SSL to force AUTH login (using password) from
what I read in the FAQ, by default it seems it uses the From address
and just makes sure that the user exists? I want it to make the user
No. If authentication is enabled and used, a valid userid and password must
be supplied in order to gain relaying privileges.
AUTH login and check PAM for the password (like it does for IMAP and
POP). If I set AUTH_REQUIRED=1 in ESMTPD-SSL it just gives me an error
saying:
courieresmtpd: error,relay=::ffff:192.168.3.100,msg="535
Authentication required.",cmd: MAIL FROM:<adm...@belminfernandez.com>
SIZE=390
but yet it didn't ask me to login (using Thunderbird to test it out).
The mail server has no ability to hack into whatever E-mail client is
connecting to it, and reprogram the E-mail client to prompt for a password.
It is entirely up to the mail client to decide whether to open some dialog,
or not.
