We are in the process of reviewing Imail prior to purchase and this spam
issue is a major concern. Are you saying that Imail has no way to prevent
hackers from using our system as a way to send spam?
What if Imail is set to not allow any Relay?

How exactly do you LART AOL and UUnet without blocking all of those
services.
If someone has come up with a good way to block Spammers with Imail...
PLEASE clue others in on it. Since Imail will not implement RBL and
others... I believe any help would be appreciated. It seems those of us
using Imail have to suffer with all the Spam while those using Linux and
other programs on NT have full support for anti-spam procedures.
Don't get me wrong we really like Imail... however the level of Spam flowing
through Imail systems unchecked is dreadful. We add one denial and it comes
from another address the next day. Without specific methods such as these
lists and dynamic denial based on volume it seems impossible to stop the
onslaught.
IPSwitch please help your customers...

Are they successfully relaying through your server? Or just
mass bombing your users? Have you LARTed AOL and UUNet?
I block off plenty of UUNet dial up blocks and AOL dial up blocks.
MSN uses UUNet dialups too.
