0 Slifer Posted June 12, 2012 Share Posted June 12, 2012 Nope.. that's not dangerous. Link to comment
0 StifflersMom Posted June 12, 2012 Share Posted June 12, 2012 A little bit more specific: Some routers has an option to forward all ports to a specific lan ip. Never do this You may only forward the mta ports as described by the wiki. That's not dangerous, if you know your scripts and ACL. CU Link to comment

0 Callum Posted June 18, 2012 Share Posted June 18, 2012 Do you mean Callum Jones? I'm not a "Script Kiddie" (well, some may say - but in another aspect). Link to comment
0 Jaysds1 Posted June 23, 2012 Share Posted June 23, 2012 , Callum Jones, He's such a kid. Anyways, opening some port might be dangerous as other programs can sneak their way in and take some data from your computer but it's highly impossible if your only hosting your server. Link to comment
