SMTP AUTH: bypass for certain IPs?
Mark Tranchant
only send mail if they authenticate first.
As my mail server is also my web server, I'd like to be able to send
system-generated email from scripts without authenticating. At the moment,
I achieve this using the trusted users file, which is not a nice solution.
What I'd like to be able to do is allow bypassing of SMTP AUTH based on
connection IP address. The documentation suggests that a combination of
FEATURE(`delay_checks') and Connect:127.0.0.1 in the access map would allow
mail to be sent from 127.0.0.1 without authentication, but the session
always bombs out after the RCPT TO: command with 550 Authentication
required.
What combination of settings do I need to achieve IP-based exemption from
SMTP AUTH?
Many thanks in advance.

in access file put relay for the ip
eg
in /etc/mail/access
127.0.0.1 relay
Your access file may be in somewhere else just check that

I already have that in the access map, as I stated in my original post. It
fails with or without the Connect prefix, bombing out after the RCPT TO is
given.
Any other suggestions?

Check out Srv_Features. In access.db you do something like:
Srv_Features:1.2.3.4 A S # dont do SMTP AUTH and TLS

That's the ticket.
Connect:127.0.0.1 RELAY
Srv_Features:127.0.0.1 A
...and it works just fine.
Many thanks!
