Hello,
POP only receives mail, it does not send mail. SMTP is used to send mail. If
you have chosen an SMTP server that has no restrictions on sending then anyone
can send. If you have relaying on your SMTP server disabled then the users of
the SMTP server will only be able to send to local accounts.
If you would like to prevent users from sending then you need to set
appropriate restrictions on the SMTP virtual server that users have available
to them.

Hi everybody,
I would like to ask you two questions,
1- are your Pop3 clients able to send messages using any account of the
domain, if they don't use the password?
2 - how can I prevent this from happening?
If I configure a Pop3 account on OExpress, and use any account in the account
name without password, I can send messages to everybody inside the domain.
For example, my e-mail address is fgaudencio@xxxxxxx if I configure my pop3
connection to use the account name fgaudencio and the password is clear, I'm
able to send messages to everybody inside the ipg.pt.
Can you help me?
