Maybe if you had not come back with a such (acting like you knew what you were talking about when you did not) remark about you wanting the sender to use a password after 3 people told you your relay settings needed to be changed, you would have gotten a better response. "when telneting in via port 25, shouldn't the "mail from:" prompt for a password?? It doesn't on mine and I can freely send to anyone on my server. -pat- > Configure your server for either "No Mail Relay" or "Relay For > Addresses" with suitable trusted IP addresses; those are the only two > safe options.
