How would one configure ASSP to work for this? I've been stuggling with this notion for the last couple of days and can't figure out the right setup. The way I see it, I need to route all incoming mail on port 25 through ASSP before going to my mail server (ie: set Listen Port to 25 and SMTP Destination to 225). My mail server would be configured to listen on port 225. Now, you are suggesting to add port 587 on my mail server as an incoming SSL/TLS port. That's fine. So email clients (ex: Outlook Express, etc) would connect to port 587 and submit their mail. This is where i get stuck however. How do I configure the mail server & ASSP to process mail from this point? I can configure the mail server to use a relay server and route outgoing mail through another server/port, but how would I configure ASSP to receive that connection and then transmit the email to the world? Furthermore, how does this protect any spammers from sending mail to port 587 on my mail server destined for the local users of the mail server, thereby bypassing ASSP completely? Won't all the local users on the mail server still get spammed? Thanks, Eric ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Using Tomcat but need to do more?
