Look into the Relaying section. You'll need a second SMTP server that just handles outgoing messages that ASSP hands the messages off to. > Seth, looking at the wiki it looks like it saying two different things > to me too. > > The diagram says: > > User -> MTA -> ASSP -> SMTP-Relay -> Internet > > Then it says if you have an Anti-virus proxy, use: > > Clients -> ASSP -> Anti-virus -> Mail server -> Internet > > This to me looks to be the wrong way round.

They are both valid configurations. The first one is usually used with a non-standard/enterprise MTA like Exchange, Groupwise, Gomino etc... where clients connect directly to the MTA and only public incoming smtp passes through ASSP before getting to the MTA. The second one is usually used with a simple SMTP/POP3/IMAP setup. > So Seth, just tell your MTA to send all outgoing email to ASSP which is > listening on port 25. This will just cause all his outbound email to fail unless ASSP is configured with a relay server. ASSP is not an MTA, it can not deliver mail.
