I have a question then. I have a small setup (only two IP's with maybe 1000 users). If I set up relay for addresses, what happens if someone tries to send an email from their home? We have web access available as well.
I understand it works great as long as all mail is sent through the SMTP with the address listed in the 'relay for addresses' but will it block email if they are using another computer at a different location or does it pick up only from the SMTP server?

You can use the "no relay" option if you are using SMTP Auth, otherwise, "relay for addresses" is the way to go.

We have customer that has a static IP address with a different provider but we provide their mail and webspace..... I have their Static IP listed in my allowed addresses....
