I wish it did generate a text file. I use the Admin Web interface
to enter mine in. Cuts down on having to enter them twice
plus I am able to add them from anywhere. The service restart
is a killer at time from the Web interface though.
With many of the mailbombs we get coming from dialups
it would be nice to have a hook to at least the MAPS DUL.
I was testing an external SMTP server the other day with
DUL support and turned away almost 300 in a 8 hour period.
That is 200 that would be able to connect to the Imail box.
On a side note I ran across a software developer page today
that sells software which will test a very broad range of addresses
in search of SMTP servers. It will identify them as available for
relay, etc. SO when anyone wonders how they found you
hiding in the corner.... If you are running a open relay you have
been caught with your pants around your knees.
