than why my email flow is working ?
----------------------------------------------------------------
gateway:~# telnet postfix.domain.net 25
Trying 80.88.242.4...
Connected to postfix.domain.net.
Escape character is '^]'.
220 postfix.domain.net ESMTP Postfix (Debian/GNU)
helo remote.outside.com
250 postfix.domain.net
mail from:<bilal.shah@domain.net>
250 2.1.0 Ok
rcpt to:<bilal.shah@domain.net>
554 5.7.1 <remote.outside.com[w.x.y.z]>: Client host rejected: Access denied
-----------------------------------------------------------------
if I will pass my user name and password here it will accept otherwise not so this is true SMTPAUTH
and what zimbra is doing :D
----------------------------------------------------------
gateway:~# telnet zimbra.domain.net 25
Trying 80.88.242.36...
Connected to zimbra.domain.net.
Escape character is '^]'.
220 zimbra.domain.net ESMTP Postfix
helo remote.outside.com
250 zimbra.domain.net
mail from:<bilal.shah@domain.net>
250 2.1.0 Ok
rcpt to:<bilal.shah@domain.net>
250 2.1.5 Ok
---------------------------------------------------------------
here zimbra should reject this mail which is with out SMTP Auth :D
-------------------------------------------------------------
so this is my question , why zimbra is accepting this smtp request with out smtp auth , is it the way smtp auth works ?
