Re: OT: how do You protect an email relay service?



Two ways:

for clients who have thier own mail servers and need to relay and for people
with Linux laptops who can run posfix or exim we permi relaying based on TLS
certificate presented by the MTA.

For those who use Windows based dekstops: pop-before-smtp daemon.

All others get greylisted: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Greylisting
