Sorry to be a pest. Following up - It sounds like using Local Addresses with
Auth is the best protection, assuming we want to permit mail to be sent to
non-system addresses. However, if a user on our system decides to spam by
sending out 10,000 emails, they will be sent. Is there a way to limit users
to only send/receive via the web interface, and if so, would that be a way
to reduce or eliminate the possibility of local users sending out mass
mailings?
Regards,
Joe

Set to Local Host Only will allow anyone that uses username@domainname
to relay through your box. Simple as changing the e-mail address in their
mail client/spamware. No Relay will mean that your users will have to
use another box to send e-mail. Relay for Addresses with only local
addresses allowed usually works pretty good. Anyone outside of those
address ranges will have to use SMTP Auth to send mail. Works for
me anyway.
