[NTLUG:Discuss] QMAIL and open relays.

[Jack Snodgrass]

Just so we can start a good "my server is better than yours"
war, I like Postfix for mail. I have it set up for SMTP Auth.
Users send a userid/password as part of their SMTP connection.
Only users with valid userid/passwords can send mail. Doesn't
care where on the planet they are located.... just that they
are a valid mail user on the system.

Sendmail has this too..... postfix had it first. QMAIL probably
has it too.....

At any rate.... it's a good feature.
