Relay Control |
|
Use Relay Control at Security » Security Settings » Relay Control to define how your server reacts to mail relaying. When a message arrives at your mail server that is neither from nor to a local address, your server is being asked to relay (i.e. deliver) the message on behalf of another server. If you do not want your server to relay mail for unknown users, you can use the settings provided here to control that.

|
Relaying email indiscriminately for other servers could result in your domain being blacklisted by one or more DNS-BL services. Open relaying is greatly discouraged because spammers exploit open servers to hide their tracks. |
