Yep, LDAP and flatfile validation in use in ASSP.  Works great.  I actually 
use the LDAP from our Active Directory rather than OpenLDAP provided with 
IMail.

Not sure what you mean by this.  We are not an open relay.

Please elaborate.  I am well aware of how an open relay can be used.  Be 
specific regarding how your peception of my configuration is that it can be 
abused.  Are you thinking that there is something wrong with using ASSP's 
second listen port and its ability to enforce auth?

Since using hmailserver as a gateway between ASSP and another MTA, the LDAP 
issue is between ASSP and that other MTA, not the gateway, whatever that is. 
Using hMailserver is a free solution for Windows based SMTP AV for a MTA 
that does not have the capability otherwise.  It is also a good way to hide 
an out of date commercial product that you want to keep using, like old 
versions of IMail, from the internet and instead use products that are 
currently developed like ASSP and hMailserver to handle the Internet 
traffic.
