The security for Imail is horrible. The only way I was able to get around
it was ny keeping post.office which has superior SMTP security which I have
been telling IPswitch and anyone who will listen to do. The only reason that
ipswitch's security sucks is becuase they only allow you to choose one of
the options. Had they allowed you to pick say relay local users AND allow
access from a specific IP you would have no problem at all with CF.
