Re: [IMail Forum] SMTP Authentication

Hank,   Is your IMail set to 'Relay for Addresses'  currently?  (basically making sure you are not an open relay)   You are already setup to allow for SMTP Authentication since there is no way to "disable" this, only ways to enforce it or not.   So you could tell your clients that want to connect to other ISPs to simply set their clients to SMTP Auth for your servers and it will not matter whether they connect to you or another ISP.   Of Course, if they connect to another ISP and that ISP blocks SMTP to other networks they will have a problem using your servers for SMTP.   Jeff     ----- Original Message ----- From: Hank Townsend To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, January 28, 2003 3:31 PM Subject: [IMail Forum] SMTP Authentication I have several users that want to leave their SMTP server set to my server but they want to connect to another ISP. I don't want to allow relaying for a bunch of IP subnets and was wondering about using SMTP Authentication.   1) Do my users have to enable it on their clients before I enable it on the server (currently clients only connect to my network for sending mail) or does this have to be set simultaneously at the client and at the server?   2) If I can set SMTP Authentication on the server first, will those clients that connect directly to my network require setting this option prior to being able to send mail?   3) Any advice for me as I implement this?   Thanks.   Hank
