Hi,
The way I use Eserv for email is as follows.
My email@address.com is forwarded directly to my Eserv server from outside so no retrieving pop3 email! (Fine)
Internal email is sent to Eserv and sent either locally or externally. (Fine)
Everything works fine and it does not forward spam.
When I add 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 to the AllowConnectionsFrom to allow access to ftp the SMTP server starts forwarding spam!
Any ideas ?
Thankyou,
Wayne
CheckLocalConformity is Enabled!
I have proper IP addresses in both LocalNetworks and AllowConnectionsFrom!
Why should disabling Socks and HTTP affect SMTP ?
And what do you mean about setting "propper" access rights ?

Hope, there is no 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 record in the LocalNetworks?
Nowadays, spammers often use Socks and HTTP proxy to access SMTP server from localhost loopback address 127.0.0.1. So, you should deny proxy access from outside using authentification at proxy. This also will prevent your server from blacklisting as Open Proxy.
The proper access rights is as following:
I also recommend you to configure access to FTP proxy. You should set access rights for FTPGATE object (AllUsers 1, for example). Unfortunately, you should set up IP-Authorization to do this. But if you run Eserv on your home computer there will no big problem to set it up.
There is not.
I did not realise some of the issues you have pointed out with regards to access rights and Eserv. I will when I get the chance do some testing but will have to leave FTP disabled for now.
Thankyou for your help,
Wayne
