hostname 25 doesn't talk to the telnet server, it talks to the smtp

receive mail. What you can do is prevent relaying.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

Port 25 vulnerability<BR><BR></FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I have a question about mail and port 25 in
general. I know that this is really not on the mailscanner subject so if
I don't get an answer that is ok. There are lots of servers that accept
email, but don't allow you to telnet to port 25. Since port 25 is a port
that mail talks on how does one secure this port to only allow email to talk
to it and not allow the "telnet hostname 25" action. I know in this case
telnet is disabled on the mail server. Sorry for being so dopey on this
one.</FONT></DIV>
