Whitelisting has nothing to do with Internal->Internal or local->local mail, it is only for External->Internal mail. Communications between internal employees is different then business comunication from the world to us so the added non-spam generated email is not very pertinent in a bayesian standpoint. All outgoing email auto-whitelists the external recipients as it should. > And I just want to add that this seems to work quite well - it's just a > bummer > that it leaves whatever you do after ASSP and before your mail server with > no > way to discern between external and internal mail. > > What are your thoughts on running two instances of ASSP on the same box > though? It has been done for some that manage multiple domains, but for me there is no need. There is no need for ASSP to handle any internal email period. Even if we had external users(not physically connected to our internal network), we would have their email clients connect directly to our MTA on auth port 587 that wuold then send from the MTA through ASSP the same way for outgoing only. All outgoing email is routed from our MTA->ASSP->SMTP delivery service->Internet. This also works with our MTA's webmail application where there is no client app to connect to ASSP.
