Does anyone have any experience configuring Postfix, so it would relay email from iPhones without becoming an open relay.
The iPhone is a mobile phone, among other things, and the network to which it connects would change, as the user move from location to location. Also, the dynamic IP address of the iPhone would change as the iPhone connects to different network, or even within the current network to which it is connected. Currently my email server, (eg Postfix) will only relay email from local IP address within my local network. The local computer's IP address must be included in the /etc/mail/access.db with "RELAY" privileges before Postfix will relay the mail. I could RELAY for all computers within my smvfp.com domain, but the iPhone will generlly connect to various domain other than the smvfp.com domain, and there is no way to know beforehand the domain, network, or IP address the iPhone will have.
