Landon,
Actually, you are not using very strong security with relay for Hosts. I
(and most everyone on this forum and probably all spammers!) could relay via
your server with that setting just by saying the sender is
'[EMAIL PROTECTED]'.
Accept.txt for that setting, expects 'domain.name' when used with Host
relay, not IP addresses. No, you would not get 'both' methods with this
technique.
To close a relay, you really want to use 'Addresses' (and enter any local
addresses you want) or 'No' relay (user must use SMTP Auth in their client).
