That will get you out of some of the spam databases, but not all of them --
and, spammers will still be able to use your mail server (although it will
be a bit more work for them). The problem is that with "Relay for local
users", IMail will allow all outgoing mail from addresses on your sever --
but, those addresses are easily forged (about 90% of spammers use forged
E-mail addresses). So a spammer just has to send mail from
"[EMAIL PROTECTED]" and their mail will go out. It's better than
no protection, but you still will end up in a few of the spam databases.
The most secure options are "No Mail Relay", and "Relay for Addresses".
