I've had some problems with spammers using my company's Imail 
v5.04 server, so I've begun to "lock down" email.  I have one server 
in my DMZ (we're using a PIX firewall), which has mail relay set to 
"relay for local users". This server does in fact have users who 
access their email from the Internet, so I assumed that this was 
the best choice.  All other mail received is to be forwarded (via a 
gateway), to an Imail v5.04 server on our internal network, which 
then forwards mail throughout our WAN organization.  This server 
has out bound access to the internet, but no one can access it 
from the Internet.  My problem boils down to this.....mail coming in 
for [EMAIL PROTECTED] works just fine.  However, for reasons I won't 
go into, our internal network uses mail in this format and in the 
format [EMAIL PROTECTED]  Some users (I have no control 
over who, or access to change their configuration), even send mail 
to the Internet in the [EMAIL PROTECTED] format.  When replies 
come back in as [EMAIL PROTECTED], they are rejected due to 
the smtp relay option. I've added these hosts in the accept.txt file, 
and added them to the \winnt\system32\drivers\etc\hosts file, but 
they're still getting rejected.  All I want is to have mail relayed for 
local users, and for a limited specified list of hosts.  The local user 
mail will get delivered locally, and the limited specified hosts will be 
forwarded onto the internal Imail server for further processing.  Any 
ideas or help would be greatly appreciated.
