Yup, it's OE.  Guess I misunderstood what local hosts and local users meant, I thought it was if it was on an intranet, hence the "local".  I guess it means anyone with an email address from a host local to the machine?  Couldn't someone forge the headers to get by these options?   Sorry if my questions seem simplistic, email is not one of my strong points, I'm an ex-DEC field service engineer turned hostmaster, but I want to tighten things down enough that we don't get blacklisted on some database or taken over as an open relay.   Thanks,   Mike ----- Original Message ----- From: Harris Coltrain To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Sunday, September 09, 2001 12:53 AM Subject: Re: [IMail Forum] Relay Problems I am assuming that this setting is in either Outlook or OE mail acount properties. If so, do not check that and in your SMTP security for Imail simply have relay for local hosts or users only. This should solve the issue. ----- Original Message ----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Saturday, September 08, 2001 9:23 AM Subject: [IMail Forum] Relay Problems Hi All,       We're getting ready to close our open relay and have run into some problems.  If I set "My server requires authentication" to on, and set the settings to "Use same setting as my incoming mail server" I can't send mail, it always refuses either the login name or password.  I'm running:   Win2K Advanced with SP2 Imail 6.06   The main database is the Imail DB, one host uses SQL.  I thought it was because of the SQL, but it's also happening to hosts that use the Imail DB.  What am I missing, any ideas?   Thanks,   Mike Achenbach [EMAIL PROTECTED] YourMaine.Com - We're Putting Maine At Your Fingertips [EMAIL PROTECTED] - Powerful Hosting At Affordable Prices
