Thanks, Sandy.
I am confident that Declude Hijack prevents most of the hazards of
open relay status. For example, I have a free email service and every
once in a while someone signs up and tries, but Hijack captures it
very well and routes almost all emails to a local folder. I watch the
folder and disable the account permanently.
With 'Relay for Local Users' the inconvenience I would have is that my
remote user's server I'd have to put in every email address in the
accept.txt, right? There is no automated or remotely managed way to do
this at this time. So if I go this route, then he would have to inform
me of any new added accounts on his system. I may do this, but is is
much harder to manage. Now I'm wondering if anyone might have
automated the process to edit the accept.txt file?
