Had the same issue. now outgoing email does no longer require auth in IW4.4.0 !?
Hi all, (long post, but bear with me pls.)
I had the same issue, in the last 3-4 months.
We could not send emails. Sometimes after waiting few hours , sending worked again. Other times only server (container) restart solved the issue.
Have submitted tickets with my host (logic web) - i have a VPS, and they said it is just “some sort of spike load” and offered to change the VPS to a new server, to upgrade to Centos 5. (did that)
Now Logic web moved our VPS with:
InterWorx-CP Version: InterWorx-CP v4.4.0 [Unlimited Domain] VPS
Distribution: CentOS release 5.5 (Final)
Operating System: Linux 2.6.18-028stab069.6-ent (SMP)
But now the SMTP-AUTH REQUIRED is NOT available for the default SMTP 25 port!
(it is only for the alternative SMTP on 587 port)
With outlook, I managed to send emails to addresses outside domains hosted, without knowing the email account password, because outgoing email does no longer require auth…
Spammers are using our server now.
We just had 2000 emails / day send out in the last couple of days, checked smtp-sent logs, got warning emails from mail-queue manager etc. …
submitted a new ticket with Logic web.
Logic web said they were waiting a reply from Interworx about it, and after 2 days replied that this is an “INCOMMING” spam issue, we should fix with filters.
But it is an OUTGOING mail lack of security issue.
here some logs: with email sent OUT by spammers:

any advice why now the IW does not offer AUTH on the default SMTP server ?
Thx.
