How can I block SMTP login attempts permanetly? Adding the
address to one of the .can files doesn't seem to do the trick.
Thanks
gamgee> SMTP logins? Huh?
if you have email enabled for your users, they connect to your SMTP to send email... they authenticate against their record in the sbbs user file... spammer bots attempt to do the same thing with purloined
credentials...
if they are reading news via your server and they write a private reply to a news article, that reply will go via your SMTP server... again, with authentication against the sbbs user file...
gamgee> Turn off the email server if you don't want any SMTP connections.
then email in/out of the BBS won't work...
