>(the one that is using real IP) Maybe a dumb question, but why do you only have one IP address? Have you used all the addresses assigned to you, or did you only have one to start with?

I turned out that the only option to 100% resolve this issue is to ask all of my customers to change their email settings to use authentication, and have them all use the same existing account from the main domain (the one that is using real IP), since virtual domains do not allow for SMTP authorization. That's asking too much, so I left it to "relay for local users".

Yes, anyone that connects and says their email address is "[EMAIL PROTECTED]" will be able to send email.

Note that any setting other than "Relay for Addresses" and "No Mail Relay" means that you are an open relay, allowing spammers to use your service for free. That's probably why you are listed in NJABL, ORBZIN, and ORBZOUT. >Right now, I can open a telnet session to the server and send email from >anyone to anyone and the server will relay the mail message. (the server is >setup to relay email only for local hosts). Well, any spammer can do that, unless you use "Relay for Addresses" or "No Mail Relay". So don't worry about it too much. If you really want to be an open relay, and care how it is open, you should make sure that you stopped/restarted the SMTP service. To make sure that you are not an open relay, you can either use IMail's "Relay for addresses" (in which case you would enter a list of "safe" IP addresses that your users may come from; anyone not coming from those safe IPs would need to use SMTP AUTH), or "No mail relay" (which really means that everyone must use SMTP AUTH). Note that relay setting apply only to outgoing E-mail, so no matter what your settings are, your users will still be able to get mail. -Scott --- Declude: Anti-virus, Anti-spam and Anti-hijacking solutions for IMail. http://www.declude.com --- [This E-mail was scanned for viruses by Declude Virus (http://www.declude.com)] Please visit http://www.ipswitch.com/support/mailing-lists.html to be removed from this list.
