Correction, I use RELAY FOR LOCAL USERS.
Sure, Relay for IPs will be a surer way (because in addition to the username
they have to know the password) but it just plain does not work on our
server.
I dont know what is so different with our server, but we keep on getting
TCP/IP connection errors (connection terminated) whenever we turn on relay
for ip's.
We have been struggling with this for a while, even with ipswitch support,
but it just plain old wont work.
So I guess this is a stop gap for a short while.
