Run "Relay for Addresses", then enter the addresses of the servers that have
forms on them into the allowed IP address list for this service under SMTP
Security and they will be able to send mail fine. Any users that access the
Internet with dynamic IP's should send email from the SMTP server of their
ISP, not yours. We struggled with telling our customers to do this but it is
really the only way.
If you use the Imail db you could have them use SMTP authentication but it
can be tricky to get working right. We had to give up that "feature" when we
changed to an external db.

Subject: [IMail Forum] SMPT Authentication for Website form scripts?
> Hi, we've been running our SMTP Mail replay as "Relay for local hosts
> only". Unfortunately we've been Black listed by http://orbz.org. Anyway
the
> only way for us to come off the black list is to set our relay options to
> "No mail relay". We can't do "Relay for addresses" as a lot of our hosting
> clients use dynamic IP address or we never have an accurate count of mail
> address and IP's.
>
> Our problem with setting the SMTP server to "no replay" is that we use a
> lot of contact form scripts and other application scripts to send e-mails
> (mainly written in Cold Fusion); "No mail relay" requires SMTP
> authentication, and although we can have our clients set there mail
clients
> to do this (i.e. outlook), how do we send these commands to iMail's smtp

> Fusion for example.

> Our current scripts currently send information such as the FROM, TO,

> Once we changed our replay options, the scripts would not send e-mail out,
