RE: Quick netsat qstn
hi
thanks for that. We have a campus policy prohibiting e-mail relaying (after
some spamming incidents) ... that's why i was interested in the connection
actually ... i was curious because the machine isn't really used for MTA
purposes, though it hosts a few mailing lists. What exactly did you mean by
verifying the address?
thanks
Andrew

Basically yes. It means there is a connection to the SMTP port of
my.computer.dom from foreign.address.
We *presume* it is sending you mail... but it could be someone sending
email to one of your relayed domains, or VRFYing an email address. Does
this server deny routing email for non-local accounts?

hi all
i was wondering what it means when netstat shows a connection at:
[my.computer.dom]:smtp [foreign address]
... does it simply mean that someone is sending mail to my.computer.dom?
thanks
Andrew
