Securing smtp with login
- by Paul Peelen
I have a ispconfig server, and it seems that someone is using it to send spam. I got about 130 "Mail Delivery System" email about declined send email.
This spammer uses my email address as sent from adress, so I get all these email adresses to my mail.
I am using Postfix and Courier. I installed my server according to this guide: http://www.howtoforge.com/perfect-server-debian-lenny-ispconfig3-p3
I did this a few months ago.
My question: Can I secure my server to require login to be able to send email, and if so... how?
Thanks!
EDIT
Some data from mail.log, these kind of error show up constantly:

EDIT #2
Got some more info from the logs, this is a send request:

Which apparently got thrue. Any ideas how to restrict this?
