ASSP supports authenticating *through* ASSP to the mailserver, however it is unwise to force the USER to connect *through* ASSP. ASSP is single threaded and will be a bottleneck to the connecting Users while doing little (nothing) of its real purpose. It is much better to let the Users connect directly to the mailserver and let then the mailserver rout through ASSP to the SMTP-relay. The USERS can connect on port 25, 587, 465 as they are used to. This is easyly done by using different IP numbers for mailserver and ASSP. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Splunk Inc.
