Heinrich - Thanks! Here's what I show now: 220 www.storehousesoftware.com (IMail 7.13 16-1) NT-ESMTP Server LX1 ehlo 250-www.storehousesoftware.com says hello 250-SIZE 0 250-SBITMIME 250-DSN 250-ETRN 250-AUTH LOGIN CRAM-MD5 250-AUTH=LOGIN 250-EXPN
I've set relay for Addresses and have only the address of my server. The SMTP VRFY command is disabled. If you would be so kind again, please check and see if that blocks relaying.

But, it isn't anymore; it's behind a router. Imail should only relay messages that come from servers on my LAN behind the router. So, my server shouldn't be a spam threat. Am I missing something? I'm still not seeing where the Relay for Addresses is found. I have Imail 7.13. I'm looking under services at the various choices for SMTP. Is that the place?

Scott Perry Sent: Thursday, March 20, 2003 7:10 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: [IMail Forum] open relay >Is there a way with Imail to specify the addresses that you will relay? The "Relay for Addresses" setting lets you choose which IP ranges are allowed to relay mail through your server. The only other people that can relay are those who use SMTP AUTH. The "No Mail Relay" setting only allows people to relay mail through server if they are using SMTP AUTH. >Why is being a relay for servers on your LAN a spam threat? Because it isn't your LAN -- your mailserver is on the Internet. If DSBL can reach your mailserver (and send an E-mail through it), so can that spammer. And, I'm sure your paying customers (assuming you're a business of some sort) wouldn't be happy to know that they have to pay you, but spammers don't. :) -Scott --- Declude JunkMail: The advanced anti-spam solution for IMail mailservers.
