Yes, that will happen. If you offer people free mail service, spammers will gladly take advantage of it. Note that the "Maximum recipients per message" setting of 20 doesn't mean that they can only send 20 E-mails per day. It just means that they can only send to 20 recipients at one time. That's the "standard" amount that most spammers will send. Even if you set that to 1, spammers can still send their mail through your server (although it would be slower). Are you telling me that you never thought that a spammer might use your free mail service? Any time a company gives something away for free, people can abuse it. For example, our http://www.DNSstuff.com site gives away free DNS-related lookups, and occasionally people abuse it, so we have rate limiting that will help prevent people from abusing it. In your case, you need to realize there is no "magic" solution. Anti-relay settings prevent "bad" people from using your mailserver to send mail to the world -- but if you tell IMail that your users are "good", the anti-relay settings won't help you. -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)] 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/
