If you are submitting mail directly to your MTA and not through ASSP then you can't use the clients default domain as the spam reporting address unless you tell your MTA to forward email sent to the various interface addresses onto ASSP. Personally I use [EMAIL PROTECTED] to talk to the email interface. This is set as a local domain in ASSP but the MTA thinks it's external and thus forwards it properly. > Alternatively, I suppose I can setup a domain that will be routed to > ASSP...say [EMAIL PROTECTED] (no root).

The domain you send to only has to be local to ASSP other than that it does not care what the domain is, "[EMAIL PROTECTED]" would work if it "microsoft.com" was set as local in ASSP. Your server and/or email client would probably not let you send email to that address normally. > The problem is I can't possibly put a list of all hosted domains on the ASSP > server (I am routing to multiple servers), and so I let the mail server > decide if an address is local.

You fix it by properly entering the local domains in ASSP, otherwise it thinks they are relay attempts and blocks them. This is working as expected. Generate it from a script or use LDAP but you really should have the domains as local in ASSP. Otherwise whats the point of using a proxy if it's not taking the load off your servers? > http://www.nabble.com/file/8243/400px-ASSP_-_Network_topology_-_Basic.png I really need to watermark that image.
