Only problem with it is that if you have an older version (like we do) Webshield alters the From field header making Declude spam filters un-useable. :(
Does the newest version of Webshield leave the headers alone?

Yes, the client needs to be configured for SMTP Auth.  With Outlook and Outlook Express you can simply check the box that says "My server requires authentication".  Most other e-mail clients support this, as well, you will just need to find where to configure SMTP Auth on those clients.

Hello Bill,
 
Thank you for the advice.  I have tried setting "No Relay" and allowing SMTP AUTH, however, when I try this all messages receive the "not local host" error and are not sent.  Any idea why that occurs?
 
Thanks!
Dominic

Relay only for addresses or no relay and use SMTP Auth.  As you can see, anything else will make you an open relay.

Hello,
 
We are running Imail 6.04 on win2k sever.  I have been examining our logs and a see a *huge* volume of entries such as those listed below.  Okay, clearly our Imail server is being used as a SPAM rely.
 
SMTP relay is set for "Local Users Only"
 
SMTP AUTH and VRFY are disabled
 
What else can I possibly do to prevent this!?
 
Thank you!
