Who is a trusted sender?

[olaf.krause]

from handbook:
*****
Trusted Sender (e.g. Local/Outbound from the LAN)
Allow relay
Select this if you want the WinGate mail server to accept and send email for domains that are not local. Checking this box in the Trusted Senders section is not the security risk that checking it in the Untrusted section is because this only pertains to users on your LAN.

I have this enabled but from some machines (not in the Windows domain but in the same IP subnet with the same domainname) I still have to pop before send. What exactly does trusted mean only boxes that are in the same windows domain?

Hi Olaf

We overhauled what constitutes trusted users for mail in WinGate 6.2.

there is now a trust panel, which displays default policies for when a sender is trusted or not, and allows you to add override policies. These can be useful for when some senders can't authenticate etc.

Which version are you running?

Wingate 6.2. Trust: Internal Adapter is checked. And my nic is an internal.

So I would expect not to be blocked...

Ahhh, I just see that there is also a distrust gateways. The box where I'm running my mailclient on is also the Internet-Gateway. So we have trust internal but distrust gateway... which one should win?

Hi

The distrust on the gateway will win.

This is so if you have port forwarding on your gateway which does reverse NAT through to WinGate on an internal adapter, it's not an open relay by default.

If it doesn't translate the source IP for incoming connections, you can turn this policy off, and WinGate can distinguish between connections port-forwarded to it from the Internet vs connections from the gateway machine itself.

Cheers
