Basically how does > ASSP validate incoming mail is going to a real user? > You can have a textfile with the local addresses listed that ASSP will check. That is how I do it. It is at "LocalAddresses_Flat <http://192.168.1.10:55555/#LocalAddresses_Flat>" under Validate Local Addresses. I don't use LDAP nor do I understand how it works.
