Also for anyone else on the look out. Try http://netwinsite.com/dmail/smtpauth.htm it supports Auth and configures itself via script prompts when you launch it.

Same request. Our client's ISP just made smtp-auth mandatory and they have client software that does a mailout for overdues that simply doesn't support it. This tool seems perfect save for the lack of AUTH support.

I wouldn't worry so much about the security of implementing this feature. People use technology for good and bad, having SMTP-AUTH support in this tool isn't going to hinder that in anyway and it's certainly not going to be your responsibility how people use your tool in the end of the day. Classic kitchen knife/hammer arguments apply here.

My vote is provide it if you can, make the tool more flexible to the end user.

Rated 5 Stars (out of 5) - This is a great little utility! Very simple and easy to configure. As we move clients to hosted exchange we can set this up to handle all the older software/devices which do not support SSL/TLS. Before finding this utility we were going to try using hmail server to handle smtp and could not get to do what we wanted; plus it was much more than we needed which made it more complicated.

Doug,

I'd like to see this feature as well. My company provides IT services for small and medium businesses, and many of the computers we run into have Intel Matrix Storage Manager and PowerChute Business Edition installed. Both of those programs provide information that's critical to us, but neither one supports SSL/TLS and authentication. When we have a Windows Server machine at the customer's site, we configure IIS to do the proxying for us, but often there's just a simple Windows 7 PC acting as a file server.

Your program is wonderfully simple to install and configure, and the addition of stored credentials would make it perfect for our use case. I understand your concern about attribution and non-repudiation and I can see two practical measures to prevent abuse that would still meet the needs emildev, brada269, and I have. First, if stored credentials are being used, only accept connections from localhost. That would eliminate abuse of the proxy from other computers on the network. Second, and again only if stored credentials are being used, disregard the original "To:" field in the header and deliver all emails to a specified address. That would ensure that any abuse coming from localhost would be limited to a single destination email address.

Please let me know your thoughts. I'd be happy to make a donation since we would use your program for business purposes. I suspect others might feel the same. Thanks in advance!

Hi Doug,

I have to second Emil on his desire to be able to send from SmtpProxy to my ISP without providing credentials. At my house, normal email traffic goes straight to my ISP because Outlookcan be configured with credentials and ports. My problem that I'm trying to solve with a proxy is my hardware monitoring and alerting. Specifically the Intel Rapid Storage Technology applet which monitors my "server's" hardware RAID set. It can send emial alerts in the event of an issue, but it doesn't accept credentials (why would you want a hardware service to look like a peson, I guess). Firewalls prevent the outside world from hijacking my proxy and sending thru my ISP as me. I agree with your assessment of why ISP's require authentication and I support their stance, but their tools don't support my tools. :-(

Regards,

Brad

I'm not sure why you would use SmtpProxy for this. Why not connect directly?

New Post: SMTP Proxy doesn't read Smtpport value from the config file, connects to 587 only.

Hi,

i tried to connect to one of my testing smtp server on standard SMTP TSL port 465 using your software and it doesn't seem to be connecting to the the 465 port, i found from the trace log that it tries to connect to the default port 587.

could you please check this one and upload the updated installer

thanks in advance,

Prani.

Created Issue: SmtpPort is allways 587 [471]

jruizjimenez — Mon, 21 May 2012 13:39:16 GMT

Hi

The setting SmtpPort is never read, I have changed the setting to be 25 but on the logs it's always 587.

Did run the proxy in console mode and as a service, it always uses 587 for outgoing SMTP server.

Example:

<setting name="SmtpPort" serializeAs="String">
<value>25</value>
</setting>

Listener started. Connections on port 25 will be forwarded to smtp.gmail.com:587

Sorry but SMTPProxy doesn't currently support this.

Can SMTPproxy be deployed as multiple services? I have a server with multiple clients who would need to proxy out to different SMTP servers. Can this be done?

Sorry for the delayed reply. As far as I know, you should not need a proxy to receive email.

Sorry but there's nothing in the application to support proxy servers at this time. Unfortunately, I don't have enough experience with proxy servers to know what might be needed to support them. Ironic, eh?

Very helpful application!Is it possible to configure proxy-settings for this app? The application works great , when @ home network, but once I am in VPN or office network that uses Proxy settings, I cannot get the application working.

Hi Dev,

Thanks for creating such a cool tool. Currently, I can only send hotmail, but cannot recieve hotmail. Would you please share some idea on how to get it? Or will you generate s POP3 Proxy?
