SMTP access tab for Email page

davidep · June 12, 2015, 3:49pm

It aims to do by Server Manager what was done by some shell commands.

More specifically, if your LAN has some stupid printer that does not support SMTP/AUTH or that insists on using port 25 for relaying a message somewhere, here it comes the new “SMTP access tab”.

I opened also a PR on the admin manual:

Please tell me your impressions and suggestions!

To test it:

yum --enablerepo=nethserver-testing update nethserver-mail-common-1.4.5-1.8.g488d4ac.ns6

Do you not have at least a stupid printer into your network?

davidep · June 12, 2015, 3:56pm

Exactly the reason because this feature exists

Printers waste papers and cause harmful features in mail servers

God bless you @davidep

You cannot imagine how many stupid printers, server’s console, NAS, DVR, switches etc. etc. etc. doesn’t support SMTP/AUTH.

I’ll try it ASAP!!!

Hi @davidep

just a question where are stored configuration data for this feature?
I mean is a db?

Good question, it should be documented here:

http://docs.nethserver.org/projects/nethserver-devel/en/latest/email.html?highlight=email#configuration-database

but it’s missing

Anyway the prop should be postfix/AccessBypassList, as we can see here:

github.com

NethServer/nethserver-mail-common/blob/52e9830efcc7a6b83f49bc6574edeef5c405fb2a/root/etc/e-smith/templates/etc/postfix/access.cidr/10smtpaccess#L6


#
# 10smtpaccess -- IP based policy from UI
#
{
$OUT = '';
foreach (split(/,/, $postfix{'AccessBypassList'})) {
    $OUT .= sprintf("%s OK\n", $_);
}
}

And there, in UI
