Are you trying to build your own home grown mail server? I ask, because most email server packages have built-in settings to enable "SMTP AUTH" which prevents relaying due to the requirement of a user name and password to send mail. They also support SMTP, POP3, as well as web based interfaces.
A couple that come to mind for the Windows platform is Exchange, and Imail. For the Linux platform (most widely used) is Sendmail, Postfix, and a couple of others. If you create a completely CF solution as a mail server, it should run cross-platform. but would appear to me to be re-inventing the wheel and may not be all that cost effective. In my case, I use a Postfix on Linux as a spam filtering/anti-virus gateway, which forwards to a windows based Imail server (or a client's server). It has been very effective and solid so far. ====================================== Stop spam on your domain, use our gateway!
