Hi Alex,

Thanks for your reply. You're right, ASSP delivers such messages to my
MTA, but the outgoing message from u...@external_domain1.com and going
to u...@external_domain2.com has to pass through ASSP so addresses can
be whitelisted. That is when it blocks the message, saying the sender
domain is not local. An excerpt from the log says:

---
Sep-23-09 00:02:04 [RelayAttempt] 127.0.0.1 <u...@external_domain1.com>
to: u...@external_domain2.com attempt blocked for unknown local sender
domain
---

If I turn off local domain checking in ASSP, everything works fine on
that end, but open relay tests think my server is an open relay. That is
because it (ASSP) accepts a message for delivery, even though my system
never sends it (because the MTA only sends from authenticated users).
Maybe my current non-default configs help:

---
# Relaying  #
acceptAllMail -- Accept All Mail*:
192.168.21.252|192.168.21.249|127.0.0.1 (Default:  ) 
nolocalDomains -- Skip Local Domain Check: Off (Default: On) 
relayHost -- Relay Host: 127.0.0.1:325 (Default:  ) 
relayPort -- Relay Port: 127.0.0.1:225 (Default:  ) 
# Recipients #
sendAllAbuseNP -- Skip Spam Checks for Abuse Catchall: On (Default: Off)
---

So I take it that it should normally send all messages coming from
127.0.0.1 or 192.168.21.252 (which is the internal IP of the machine
that ASSP and the MTA are on), even if I turn the Domain check on? What
I cannot do is turn on the local address check, because entering and
updating all my local users in ASSP would take far too much time.

As for your concern that my system is an open relay, that's not the
case. If I turn off ASSP and set Exchange to listen on port 25, every
open relay test fails. Even in the current configuration, no relay
attempts succeed, even though messages are accepted for delivery by
ASSP. 

Stefan.
