SMTP AUTH is designed to prevent unauthorized RELAYING, not local delivery. It works in IMail exactly as designed. In fact, any originating MAIL FROM: can send RCPT TO: a local address. The reason your suggestion is invalid for a public mail server is that remote mail servers cannot be expected to send AUTH credentials for your MX record (some can if manually configured, others, like IMail, can't at all). You need a better way of controlling spam--try www.declude.com or imgate.meiway.com, in addition to IMail's kill list and access control utils. And always, *always* search the archives and KB before posting in the future. -Sandy To Unsubscribe: http://www.ipswitch.com/support/mailing-lists.html List Archive: http://www.mail-archive.com/imail_forum%40list.ipswitch.com/ Knowledge Base/FAQ: http://www.ipswitch.com/support/IMail/
