Lynn,
Thanks, I've added "255.255.255.255"[TAB]"255.255.255.255" to smtprelay.tab And now the EnableAuthSMTP-POP3 works as I would have expected. Can I recommend a tutorial in the docs on 'stopping relaying'?? Thanks Graham -----Original Message----- From: Lynn A.

Mostly because it is very easy to spoof. When you say you can send mail from any vaild domain, is that to users on your server or to other servers? What is in your smtprelay.tab file? > -----Original Message----- > From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]]On Behalf Of Graham Cruickshanks > Sent: Wednesday, May 01, 2002 9:47 AM > To: '[EMAIL PROTECTED]' > Subject: [xmail] Re: Help!
