So, I'm back here at work and am under an avalanche of email. I want to get started on that as soon as possible so there won't be a post today (other than this one).
It would be helpful if I could access our email server from anywhere on the Internet, but due to security concerns from our Information Technology people, this is not possible. To get around this, I gave people my home email address but only a few actually used it.
I guess I shouldn't complain because I'm not supposed to do work from home, anyway. That said, I checked my phone mail on a daily basis and returned messages as needed.
Perhaps someday our IT people will hire a consultant to setup a secure mail server. Until then, access is restricted to only those on our Intraweb.
Aloha!

I've had a few goes at setting up a secure mailserver for external access. The best I could come up with was using SMTP authentication when sending as well as when POPing. This made setup a bit more complicated for the users, but was the only really reliable way I could prevent relaying. In a way I feel sorry for ISPs and the like, they must find it even harder.
