hi,

i am curious on how to do the following,

i seen some web host requires user using outlook etc to tick this which i am trying to adopt:
"Outgoing Server Requires Authentication"

i tried to replicate the codes for port 587 which works similarly to port 25
and none of the email managed to receive any email from other servers.

the reason why i am try this is because some spammers managed to use my client's email address to send out email without any authentication using their email address.

anyone has any idea? or have any idea how to prevent or stop this thing?

thanks alot1

I believe you are using the old exim.conf settings.

You can try upgrading :)

If you do that be sure to search through your exim.conf file for references to example.com and fix them to point to a page you create (and perhaps an email address you create) on your server.
