-------------------------------------
Summary: SMTP ip whitelist: ability to limit senders
Key: JAMES-4183
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/JAMES-4183
Project: James Server
Issue Type: Improvement
Components: SMTPServer
Reporter: Benoit Tellier
h3. Why?
Customer use case: then use SMTP ip whitelisting for sending emails from 3rd party apps, which do not (easily) support authentication. (ahhhhh printers... )
The problem is that emails sent from these IP are able to send emails with any sender which is freely accepted by the James server. My customer wishes a way to limit the senders that could be used from those hosts.
h3. How?
Have a extra Mail SMTP hooks that allows configuring allowed senders for emails originating from the IP whitelist.
Current proposal:
{code:java}
<smtpserver enabled="true">
<bind>0.0.0.0:25</bind>
<!-- ... -->
<authorizedAddresses>127.0.0.0/8</authorizedAddresses>
<!-- ... -->
<handlerchain>
<handler class="org.apache.james.smtpserver.AllowedUnauthenticatedSender">
<allowedSenders>
<allowedSender>[email protected]</allowedSender> <!-- allowed for all unauthenticated users sending from allowed Ips-->
<allowedSender fromIps="172.34.56.0/24,172.34.53.123/32">[email protected]</allowedSender> <!-- Ability to say which host can be used where -->
</allowedSenders>
</handler>
<handler class="org.apache.james.smtpserver.CoreCmdHandlerLoader"/>
</handlerchain>
</smtpserver>
{code}
This hook would trigger if:
- Relaying is allowed
- No user is set
