Dear all Can any body help me for this
I have mail+web server with www.mydomain.com My access file having only one IP which belongs to hardware firewall's server port.Suppose 192.168.100.10.My local lan is connected thru this firwall's LAN port.When user@mydomain.com sends any mail then it looks as it is comming from 192.168.100.10.
My problem is that when I check the mail queue then I find that many spam mails are passing thru my server.That mails with like 2387tugdutdutaW@yahoo.com from address and 12685ugujgsdjcgs@hotmail.com destination address. I wants that only ****@mydomain.com only pass thru my server.Also I wants that i can get mails from any domain. HOW I CAN DO THAT,I WILL BE VERY THANKFULL FOR THE SOLUTION. Ravi.
