Sounds horribly like spammers are succeeding in using you as a relay! Courier, out of the box, doesn't relay mail. You have to add an entry to (a file in) smtpaccess, specifying the IP addresses that are allowed to use you as a relay, for example a.b.c/n allow,RELAYCLIENT Hope you haven't got RELAYCLIENT for all addresses! If you /have/ to allow relaying from any address, perhaps because you have roaming users, then you posilutely must require authentication! Absotively! ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by: Oracle 10g Get certified on the hottest thing ever to hit the market... Oracle 10g.
