Hi there

Just playing with the POP3/SMTP to try and get a copy of Mozilla Thunderbird
to connect to MIS at Agency

Got the POP3 working and it pulled down BBS email

Trying to post to SMTP seems not to be working for me.

I wondered if it was the domain name I needed to use when posting to someone
as if I use lets say Xqtr in the To: field Thunderbird won't let me send but
if I used xqtr@agency.bbs.nz then I get somewhere... so I guess a full email address required right?

That said a few tests to try an post a reply to an existing BBS email to
myself or to Xqtr fail with the following:

Any thoughts as to what I may be doing wrong?

Hi Paul,

g00r00 said not so long ago that he prevents people using the SMTP server for sending email as it could be used as a spam / open relay of sorts, using
Mystic to get at your mails on the bbs is a one-way kinda deal for now.

Perhaps if there's interest and it's not too much effort to add the option
for allowing it to be two-way, perhaps g00r00 might add it to the todo list =)

I too would love that feature. I get at my messages on my iPad but wish I
could send them too... Although I think it would only be for local BBS
messages and not Netmails / echomails. That's what the NNTP part is for
right? (excluding netmail I think).

Implementing SMTP authentication would be a good way to prevent that. For now
I wrap POP3 within stunnel, but would like to have SMTP support as well.
Having native SSL for both POP3 and SMTP might be also a good thing, but for now stunnel does the job perfectly.

We'll see how things turns out.

Cheers!

I've already uncommented the code in A44 that prevents unknown domains. I haven't done any testing of it though and there will be more to do, but we'll start with that :)

I thought you could send email to local BBS users. I'm sure I've replied to local users via SMTP email before.

Yes that's my understanding too Tony/Christian... the whole thing was only
ever set up initially for BBS email.

Sounds good. I’ll test it and let you know. Do you have a file or anything that allows relay domains?
