Allowing exactly the right people to send email    Tuesday, May 10 2005 @ 12:40 PM EDT Contributed by: glosser This tutorial describes how to install EXACT, a mechanism to control email relaying. EXACT, the EXperimental Access Control Thing, is a POP-before-SMTP daemon that integrates with most email systems to control email relaying and thereby potentially reduce spamming. Here's how you can install and configure EXACT to keep spammers from taking advantage of your mail server. According to its README file, EXACT supports these POP and IMAP servers: * UW-IMAPD * Cyrus * Courier (IMAPD and POPD) * Perdition * Qpopper * TeaPOP * Cubic Circle's cucipop and these MTAs: * Exim * Sendmail * Postfix You can extend EXACT to support additional POP/IMAP servers by adding parse rules to the exact-servers.conf file. Once installation is complete, there is one main configuration file that controls how EXACT operates called exact.conf. Full tutorial   [ Views: 1452 ]
