I am using 6.0 ,
when I go to the local host and set the SMTP Security , "no relay" it does
not allow any mail to come or go unless they are hosted in our imail server.
My interpertation of this setting was "No relay to access for our mail
server to other mail servers bouncing off our site!
where did I go wrong?

This is a dangerous setting. Your Imail server will be hijacked by a
spammer and/or ORBS or MAPS will blacklist you. It should be "relay
for addresses" to be safe.
>Allow remote mail to local groups are checked.

This is strictly RFC illegal since it will interfere will bounces
from postmaster.
>Check valid sender are checked.

the important one : UNcheck "Disable SMTP AUTH"
>accept.txt list contains the addresss from the sender.
this doesn't work with "relay for addresses"

yep, not a real friendly server:
# telnet bgsys.com 25
Trying 207.158.202.110...
Connected to bgsys.com.
Escape character is '^]'.
572 Relay not authorized
Connection closed by foreign host.

afaic, the latter.
>The support from rapidsite means, that the problem is on my mailserver, but
>my mailserver can send mails to other mail-server.
rapidsite support is wrong.
>What does the errormessage 572 means. I did not found Infomation about it

5xx is fatal error, do not try to resend, the text "Relay not
authorized" is what counts
Try to contact [EMAIL PROTECTED] and see what's going on over there.
