Thank you Todd & Scott for your comments... I understand what you are telling me but I feel I need to explain that we currently don't have a choice... (I can feel the frown on your faces and the roll of the eyes from here ;-) We just have too many users to 'Train' in the new way and not enough time in our day to deal with that. Also there is too broad of an IP range that would need to be added to the Allowed Address list. We do not provide connection services to our clients and I do not know what their Dynamic IP address ranges will be. If you have any ideas I'd love to hear them.
I also do not see how I could be blacklisted for not requiring my users to authenticate, since this is essentially what you are telling me to do. Also as far as I know the server meets all requirements for http://ordb.org. Now, once again, I ask in a nice way, Is it possible to put comments in the Accept.txt file? Thanks! :-) ~Mike -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Todd Holt Most importantly... Do you know that you are now an open relay? The only secure relay options are "No relay." and "Relay for addresses.". Any other option will eventually land you in a open relay blacklist. See the FAQ listed at the bottom of this post. Todd -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of R. Scott Perry >I've recently changed our SMTP Security to "Relay For Local Users Only". Only "Relay for Addresses" and "No Mail Relay" are safe. Anything else allows spammers to use your mailserver for free. Feel free to continue using that setting, if you don't mind offering free service to spammers (and getting listed in spam databases). -Scott -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Michael Conrad I've recently changed our SMTP Security to "Relay For Local Users Only". I was just wondering if I could place comment lines in my accept.txt file so 6 months from now I don't forget what [EMAIL PROTECTED] is doing my accept.txt file and delete them. I'm running version 6.0. Thanks! ~Mike Please visit http://www.ipswitch.com/support/mailing-lists.html to be removed from this list.
