It was on the Wiki Configuration page: http://www.asspsmtp.org/wiki/Configuration But I don't get it. I had understood the Clients to be anyone sending email - be it an external MTA, or any email client (ie: Outlook Express, Eudora, etc) that was using the mail server to relay their mail. For example, I send all my email through my org's mail server by connecting to port 25 on the mail server, or port 465(SSL) if port 25 is blocked by my ISP. I never use my ISP's mail server to send outgoing mail. If it is not the case where a Client is defined as an external email client (ie: Outlook Express), how does ASSP whitelist outgoing mail? Not to mention why would email be going from the Internet->ASSP->Mail Server->External MTA. I would have thought that's what the "Internet" part of that sequence was representing. If I am understanding you correctly, an ASSP installation should be sandwiched between two MTAs. Internet -> ASSP -> Mail Server -> Mail Client (Eudora, etc) Mail Client (Eudora) -> Mail Server -> ASSP -> Relay Server -> Internet Furthermore, apart from Lotus Notes / Exchange clients, why would it be a bad thing to route internal email through ASSP anyhow?
