antony: the only reason why i am doing this is because i am blocking all incoming connectios to my box except portuguese connections. i manage to get all the portuguese ip ranges, put the forward chain to drop and a accepted all the sources i want to get connections from. this way i will only be accepting connetions from portugal, since that the ammount of users i administrate is not enough for that machine to be opened to the whole world. there are in fact lots of users expecting mail to come from those 2 most known smtps, so this forces me to accept connectiosn from those domains :)) the way i see it, filtering with qmail doesn´t make any sense, because what i want is not to filter but to accept :))) please call back to earth if this thoughts are not quite right :))) i will be greatfull thank you very much for your time and for your words ;)) ZyNkz Cópia Antony Stone <Antony@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>: > On Wednesday 26 November 2003 8:38 pm, zynkx > wrote: > > > hi Ramin and tanx for your trouble ;)) > > > > what i am looking for is the adresses from > hotmail and > > yahoo from wich smtp connections may come > from :) > > > > i have a smtp running and i need to allow > traffic > > coming from these two, (hotmail and yahoo). > > I'm not quite sure why you want to accept email > only from Hotmail and Yahoo, > and from nowhere else (a lot of people I know > do the exact opposite!), > however I still think an easier solution to > your erquirement is to accept all > email through your firewall, and then accept > only mail from Hotmail / Yahoo > on your mail server - because that can select > based on the sender's address, > without needing to know the IPs of their mail > servers (which may change one > day without you knowing). > > Antony. > > -- > If at first you don't succeed, destroy all the > evidence that you tried. > > > Please reply to the list; > > please don't CC me. > > > unix is user friendly. it's just selective when choosing friends. ------------------------------------------------- Email Enviado utilizando o serviço MegaMail
