Is there a physical file that can be opened in notepad, that represents the settings I see when clicking the SMTP Security Tab's "Control Access" button? I cannot find it anywhere. (We're running iMail 7.15). The kill.lst file won't work because you cannot enter IP addresses there AFAIK. I'm looking for a physical file, so I can script the blocking of IPs from an automated CF database, pushed out to a text-based file and sent to the iMail server via secure FTP on a regular basis. Lastly, if the Control Access list gets fairly large, will things be noticeably slower? Anybody know at what point? Thanks again for your help and suggestions!
