From the Source:
http://kbase.pmail.gen.nz/viewfull.cfm?ObjectID=EDB9806D-FBB4-4211-8BE31194FD7DC56A
Short Version:
http://mail-abuse.org/tsi/ar-fix.html#mercury
Mercury
Status: Freely Available
Systems: Novell, Win/NT, Win/95
Info: http://www.pmail.com/
The Mercury mailer is an NLM for Novell servers. Provisions to prevent
unauthorized relay have been added as of version 1.40. If you are running a
previous version, please upgrade.
The Mercury/32 mailer is re-designed for Windows/95 and Windows/NT.
Provisions to prevent unauthorized relay have been added as of version
2.11. If you are running a previous version, please upgrade.
To disable relaying, the following text should be added to the [MercuryS]
section of "mercury.ini":
[MercuryS]
Relay : 0
Strict_Relay : 1
Allow : 2.3.4.5 # The offsite backup (MX server)
Allow : 192.168.XXX.0 # Our local network
Allow : 192.168.YYY.5 # A single other machine we allow
For some older versions, that the "allow/refuse" entries under [MercuryS]
must end with the line:
Refuse: 0.0.0.0
Current versions (including 1.47) reportedly do not need the Refuse: line.
