What do I do? Relaying is allowed for IP's that match those in the "Accept All Mail." The "Local Domains" are the domain names that your mail system considers local. AOL.COM though would not be a local domain because your mail handler doesn't manage its mail. That a mail claims to be from one of your local domains does not allow it to be relayed -- this is easily spoofed and not useful as a security measure. Spoofing an IP address is more complicated in this type of environment, and generally relaying is limited by IP address. Note that you can add entire groups of addresses: 10. represents 10.1.2.3 or 10.3.2.1 or 10.anything. Similarly, 169.254. will match any IP that starts with those quads. If your clients dialup or are dynamically assigned from an untrusted pool, then the only relaible way to allow relaying is through AUTHENTECATED smtp, and your mail handler must support this type of authentication, and you must enable it in your clients. ASSP recognizes authenticated connections and allows them to relay. Not all ISPs will allow their customers to connect to your SMTP port. Many block connections to port 25 (except to their own mail server) to prevent spam.2003-Sep-04 12:11pm jhanna
