SMTP proxy gateway service
Synopsis
smtpp [-d] [-l[[@]logfile]] [-pport] [-iinternal_ip] [-eexternal_ip] [-hdefault_ip[:port]]
Description
smtpp is SMTP gateway service to allow internal users to access external SMTP servers.
Options
- -I
Inetd mode. Standalone service only.
- -d
Daemonise. Detach service from console and run in the background.
- -t
Be silenT. Do not log start/stop/accept error records.
- -u
Never look for username authentication.
- -e
External address. IP address of interface proxy should initiate connections from. By default system will deside which address to use in accordance with routing table.
- -i
Internal address. IP address proxy accepts connections to. By default connection to any interface is accepted. It´s usually unsafe.
- -p
Port. Port proxy listens for incoming connections. Default is 25.
- -h
Default destination. It's used if targed address is not specified by user.
- -l
Log. By default logging is to stdout. If logfile is specified logging is to file. Under Unix, if ´@´ preceeds logfile, syslog is used for logging.
- -S
Increase or decrease stack size. You may want to try something like -S8192 if you experience 3proxy crashes.
Clients
You can use any MUA (Mail User Agent) with SMTP authentication support. Set client to use internal_ip and port as a SMTP server. Address of real SMTP server must be configured as a part of SMTP username. Format for username is username@server, where server is address of SMTP server and username is user´s login on this SMTP server. Login itself may contain ´@´ sign. Only cleartext authentication is supported, because challenge-response authentication (CRAM-MD5, SPA, etc) requires challenge from server before we know which server to connect.
