I am trying to allow all of my internal hosts to relay mail through the domino server. We have an application that sends mail but not through the Notes client. I saw a post on how to do this. The answer was to enter the IP address in the following field on the Config Doc, Restrictions & Controls, SMTP outbound controls.
Allow messages only from the following Internet addresses to be sent to the Internet:
Is it possible to enter a range of addresses in this field or must each address be entered?
Subject: Allow Relay from Internal Hosts
Yes it is possible to enter a range by specifying wildcards ‘*’ to indicate any number
Subject: Allow Relay from Internal Hosts
See Geoff’s answer. Yes it is possible.
You may also use ranges of numbers so for example,
[192.168.0-31.*]
will work and will permit relay from any host from 192.168.0.0 to 192.168.31.255 inclusive.
Be sure you really want all of your internal systems to relay though.
If I were you I would restrict this to those app servers you have that need to be able to send SMTP mail and deny all other internal addresses anyway. It is possible for internal machines to be the victim of trojan attacks and depending on firewall/proxy configuration to be used without the knowledge of their users to relay spam.
Better to be safe than sorry.
