Sandy, Let me make sure I understand you right. I should create a temp account that does not have any space to receive any emails (so I don't have to maintain and keep it clean) in the primary domain. Then I should have all users use this account as a security account email out, so I will be using the SMTP authorization.
Then, I should check the relay for addresses only, and specify the web servers' addresses so the server will relay mail for them. At this moment, as long as the spammer does not know the password for the SMTP auth (and the account), s/he will not be able to spam through us. Am I missing anything? Thank you so much.

Fine, unless you want to actually offer access to the Internet. When you get put on an anti-spam blacklist, you WILL NOT GET OFF until you require authentication. I think you need to take a better look at your priorities as a service provider. Yes, the SMTP AUTH issue with virtual domains is a pain. But you MUST NOT ignore your vulnerability to spamming. Create shared users like [EMAIL PROTECTED] on your IP-full primary domain and have your clients use these to log in from all of their machines. Send mail to these accounts to NUL to make sure you don't have to do any housekeeping. Sandy Please visit http://www.ipswitch.com/support/mailing-lists.html to be removed from this list.
