I tend to think in terms of my own installation/setup methodology, and our discussion quickly went from one topic to another and I neglected to make my answer as broad as possible.

As I alluded to in a previous message, there are different ways to configure ASSP. Its my opinion that optimally ASSP should be a proxy between your server and the Internet only. I can think of multiple reasons why I would not want my users sending mail through ASSP's SMTP port. But, and I hate to say it, but I don't have time right now to go into this further. If anyone else agrees with me and wants to pick up where I am leaving off at this point, great. Otherwise I probably wont be able to provide a detailed answer until next week. I'm heading out-of-state. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Using Tomcat but need to do more? Need to support web services, security?
