We have a similar issue with ASSP. We have ASSP on a separate box along with Norton AVG (EW!) and when we pass outgoing mail using the smart host through ASSP it creates a mail loop and we end up with a broken mail server this is making the whitelist feature useless.
What I'm considering doing is setting up ASSP on my mail server as well since the majority of my users use a mail client other then web messaging and run ASSP off of a share for outbound only, this would force the whitelist to be saved to a network share. So inbound e-mail: ASSP > NAVG > imail Outbound: Imail > ASSP on same machine > world ASSP would be setup like so: Inbound MX record holds all files and runs ASSP, ASSP sits in network share Outbound SMTP Server runs ASSP from network share, saving outgoing whitelist entries to net share, allowing inbound MX to see whitelist generated from outbound mail. Any thoughts? This is getting OT so shoot me a mail off list.

My original post was that I wanted to try and include webmail users along with non webmail users. I thought that might be possible using a gateway but no one here seems to use ASSP as the gateway for imail. So I guess I will need to make some kind of spam submission system for webmail users unless there is some file in webmail that can be modified to tell webmail to use a different smtp server for sending mail.

Try it and check your ASSP logs. No, that's not correct. As Nelson originally pointed out ASSP is running on port 25 and web mail is not. The two are independent of one another as a result. If you check the ASSP logs you'll see nothing shows up in them. This is all true on a single box running Imail and ASSP together. Not sure what would happen if you split them up. This separation introduces issues with using ASSP. Notably, how do your users build whitelists if they effectively are not a part of the system? ASSP has alternative methods of submitting whitelist entries, and you can write up a script to create a web-based interface to it. Not as convenient as just sending mail, but its an acceptable substitute on a server where I try to discourage reliance on web mail. -------------------------------------------- Matt Robertson [EMAIL PROTECTED] MSB Designs, Inc. http://mysecretbase.com -------------------------------------------- To Unsubscribe: http://www.ipswitch.com/support/mailing-lists.html List Archive: http://www.mail-archive.com/imail_forum%40list.ipswitch.com/ Knowledge Base/FAQ: http://www.ipswitch.com/support/IMail/ To Unsubscribe: http://www.ipswitch.com/support/mailing-lists.html List Archive: http://www.mail-archive.com/imail_forum%40list.ipswitch.com/ Knowledge Base/FAQ: http://www.ipswitch.com/support/IMail/ --- Incoming mail is certified Virus Free.
