we do need it, we have a group of users that need to submit email to us and through us back to the internet, its our mobile sales force they are never in the same place twice and it was "deemed" that having them dial a 800 number to a RAS machine here was too expensive. So they use local AT&T isp wherever they are, but it was also "deemed" that the email was too sensetive to use the AT&T mail server so they had to connect to us.
its hard to explain. No matter how i tried to lock down the server from relaying i couldnt allow this limited group of people the ability to email people on the internet. Thats why we needed the invisible IMS, that way these people could log on, get email and send email to either company personel and/or people on the internet. its a crappy situation, i'm pushing for a better RAS solution and the funds increase on our 800 number so we can get these users off local ISP's. I'm also toying with VPN solutions. I really like jim saunders idea of "authenticated relay" _________________________________________________________________ List posting FAQ: http://www.swinc.com/resource/exch_faq.htm Archives: http://www.swynk.com/sitesearch/search.asp To unsubscribe: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Exchange List admin: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
