[Wolves] Testing my mailserver

[Re-LoaD's LUG Mail]

Hi Wayne
    its as secure as it can be you will find that you can always send mail
from the localhost

helo localhost
mail from: root@localhost
rcpt to: root@localhost
data

text here

.

quit

but as you can see you do log the ip of the connection so if I was going to
hide I would use some other b0x.
(maybe aq's........ only joking) any way sorry I couldn't resist the
temptation to have a little play.
Right back off to my php and mysql books..

cheers

 Re-

The 80.195.138.11 address is a blueyonder network department, and the
from is my root mail address at my server!

So is my mailserver secure or not?

Thanks guys
