I need to setup an SMTP server on my home computer. The question is, how do I secure the server to only accept

connections from my server and not let anyone else connect to it? I cannot use u/p authentication as my code does not currecntly support this. Any help?

Well for email authentication I think PGP and S/MIME have been proven effective.. now if you are trying to protect the server from people logging in then maybe you should install SSH or OpenSSH and putty (encrypted authentication) or Kerberos (3rd party authentication).

Hope this gives you an idea.

Password protection?
