how can i prevent this...

Post by TrialUserXP »

g'day,

how can i prevent those spoof mails [mail from: doesn't exist in my domain], i've switched on 'smtp authentication....

right now, if user is sending from mail client, it will request for authentication but the log below seems wasn't from a mail client...

any guru can give me a clue?

thank you in advance...

DomainKeys

Post by someone_else »

You can implement DomainKeys on your domain, and set up a policy that says your domain signs all its mail. That way, spoofed mail claiming to come from your domain will fail authentication (since it will obviously lack your signature).
MailEnable plugins:
DKeyEvent - DomainKeys/DKIM
MESpamC - SpamAssassin integration
