David:
But
how would I handle cases, such as mine, where I have one IP address at work
(through our LAN), and use dialup at home? How about when I travel and use
dialup somewhere else? I use a laptop.

What I have seen is
that the provider ( your ISP login ) is not local. You may need to set the
SMTP server to the provider you log into.
EG: if you connect
to the internet via abc.com but the mail server is def.com your mail settings
in your mail program should be
smtp : mail
or smtp.abc.com
pop3: mail or
pop3.def.com

OK, when I do that I get no error
messages on checking mail, but when I try to send I get the
message:
“… rejected by the server. Server
Response: ‘550 not local host list.ipswitch.com, not a
gateway’…”
What
next?

I do not know about
v4 but in 6 and 7 you would relay mail for but put no Ip addresses. then have
your users set the SMTP authentication in their mail
client.

problems
I am running IMail server V4 on a
WinNT computer. The computer is co-located at an ISP. This is a sideline
business and I host several domains, mostly for non-profit organizations,
including some with email servers. Spammers have found my server and are using
it heavily. My users are not part of the local network where the server is
running and are scattered around many states and are not part of any single
network. I probably have fewer than 25 actual users, but they are spread among
the domains. Some of the organizations have list servers, but most posters are
not actual users in their domain.
From what I can see, IMail does
not provide SMTP security for this situation. If I select No Relay, my users
cannot send mail. I can select Relay Mail For but I do not know from what IP
address any user will be sending mail because many use local dialup access and
don’t have fixed IP addresses. If I select Relay Mail For Anyone I am open to
spammers.
I have checked the documentation
for IMail V7 and don’t really see anything that would solve my problem, but
perhaps I am missing something. Perhaps one of you can help
me.
1.
Will IMail provide
the protection I need, and do I have to upgrade to V7 to do so? If so I will
probably have to go out of business, since my operation is very small and I
can’t afford the $995 upgrade price.
2.
Is there another
email server software that will provide the capability I
need?
3.
Is there a different
approach I should use to accomplish what I need to
do?
Many thanks for all who read this
and consider my plight!
