Hello

What can I do to require from my users to use their password to sent an email?

Now spammers use my mail servers and sent emails.
I have a serious problem and I cannot fix it.
I tried with various settings on exim.conf but nothing.
 
Exim by default doesn't allow email relaying.

If you've changed your exim.conf file, go back to the default and start over.

If you haven't, then what's most likely is that there are PHP exploits going on, and those won't be stopped by requiring password authentication.

I am having a similar problem

the exim.conf has only spam assassin uncommented

but I seem to be able to send mails without authentification

I am using a compare and merge software to double check!

this is uncommented

spamcheck_director:
driver = accept
condition = "${if and { \
{!def:h_X-Spam-Flag:} \
{!eq {$received_protocol}{spam-scanned}} \
{!eq {$received_protocol}{local}} \
{exists{/home/${lookup{$domain}lsearch{/etc/virtual/domainowners}{$value}}/.spamassassin/user_prefs}} \
} {1}{0}}"
retry_use_local_part
transport = spamcheck
no_verify


obviously we want to turn authentification on!
 
sorry trawling through the boards I foudn the problem,

- there is no problem!

I thought it was off as I could send without authentification

I was testing sending to my client who's email is ON the server.

Now I understand that this is allowed but relaying to emails OFF the server is blocked.

When sending to my email via the server I got the correct response!

Sorry :-)
