Unfortunately, not an option at the moment. Down the road, perhaps, but for now, I can't afford the time and cost of migrating MTAs. > What MTA is this?

I'm using MerakMail. And yes - the MTA does have a setting to allow only Authenticated users to relay. But it doesn't have an option that denies access to all non-authenticated users from sending mail. And the question here is for the non-relayed mail (ie: mail that is to be delivered locally). That is the mail that must pass through ASSP to ensure that it isn't spam. And if it runs through a proxy, something like stunnel, ASSP will see the originating address as being 127.0.0.2, which will kill the concept of delaying, rbl, greylisting, etc... Unless someone knows of a trick that I'm not seeing.... Thanks, Eric ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Take Surveys. Earn Cash.
