Dusty, perhaps you can clarify something for me. I've looked at the docs and
still am a little confused.
1. If we set to allow no relay, does that solve spam problems entirely?
2. What is extent of security when set to Local Hosts Only?

I block most UUNet Dialup pools and AOL Dialup pools from directly
connecting to our server. Trap the spam with global filters and then
send copies with headers to [EMAIL PROTECTED] or [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Take snippets from your logs showing a direct connection and that
will suffice also.
Maintain a valid abuse mailbox and be responsive to complaints.
You are right. Imail will pretty much allow anything to connect to
it and send anything. Unfortunate for us. I am being forced to install
a front end mailer to handle this due to the amount of abuse our
server is getting.
