Subject: Email troubles behind iptables firewall
Date: Thu, 12 Sep 2002 08:30:50 -0600 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <002c01c25a68$fde16160$6902a8c0@visionsbeyond.mindtrip> (raw)
Hi all,
I have an iptables firewall setup to route web, ftp
and email traffic to internal servers. My internal
servers have ip addresses in the 192.168.2. range.
The problem I am having is that my email server is
being used as a spam box (not by me but by someone
else on the internet - not with my approval either).
My question is this: Qmail is my mail server. It is
supposed to only allow relaying by certain clients.
As far as I know it is set up this way. I think the
problem occurs because I allow 192.168.2. ip
addresses to relay mail (i.e. everyone behind the
firewall). But every email coming in to the mail
server gets a 192.168.2. ip address. Is this
correct? Is there any way to pass their real ip
address through the firewall to the mail server?
Any help would be greatly appreciated. I can
post the firewall script, etc. if needed.
Thanks
Travis Crook
