MultiNet FAQ: SMTP
Can I use the SMTP_SERVER_REJECT file to reject mail based on the subject?
Yes, by using the :rfc822: reject rules. For example, the following lines would reject all messages that have "ILOVEYOU" in the subject space:
! Reject anything with an RFC822 Subject header of ILOVEYOU ! cyberpromo.com or nowhere.com ! :Subject: ILOVEYOU
How do I suppress the mail headers in MultiNet's SMTP?

$ MU CONF/MAIL MAIL-CONFIG> SET HEADER-CONTROL NONE MAIL-CONFIG> EXIT $ @MULTINET:START_SERVER RESTART $ @MULTINET:START_SMTP $ @MULTINET:START_SMTP_LOCAL (if applicable)
How is MultiNet configured to send mail when it is behind a firewall?
If your system is behind a firewall and you have an SMTP relay server available, you can configure MultiNet to send all SMTP messages to the relay host for delivery. In MULTINET CONFIG/MAIL you must set the FORWARDER to the name of the SMTP relay server and you must set the FORWARD-REMOTE-MAIL to TRUE.
