Hi,
We currently have Plesk 8.6 running on CentOS 5.3 (32bit), Plesk 8.6 comes with Qmail by default.
The issue we are finding is that Qmail will allow an end-user to authenticate using whatever valid login details but then does not check the "FROM" header and as such allows the end-user to do SMTP auth with "xyz@blah.com" and send a mail as sender "foo@bar.com".
This is obviously a very dangerious issue since it allows for email spoofing and can end up having our mail server black listed.
My question is:
Is there a way to make Qmail check the "From" address of a SMTP authenticated user matches the credentials used to perform the auth.
If not, Postfix does have this feature, how can I switch to Postfix? (Autoinstaller shows no postfix in Plesk 8.6).
