Not reinventing. Just going for a CF front end web based mail client (for sending and receiving mail. I'll require all clients to use it. Combined with setting my mail server to disallow all relaying, I can prevent spammers from using my mail server as a golden gateway. I've gotten 95% of it stopped already, however once so far this year someone out there figured out a way around what I'd done. So rather than trying to keep playing lockdown games, I'll go this route. I'm going with Webmail Pro, a CF solution by the team at www.mollerus.net for the front end client interface. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Archives: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/index.cfm?forumid=4 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/index.cfm?method=subscribe&forumid=4 FAQ: http://www.thenetprofits.co.uk/coldfusion/faq Signup for the Fusion Authority news alert and keep up with the latest news in ColdFusion and related topics. http://www.fusionauthority.com/signup.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=89.70.4
