Well thank you for your replys Drew and Sam. It just seemed like a simple thing for courier to be able to run a check up against the local users and aliases and be able to determine that it was an invalid local sender from the domain it courier reconizes as the ones it manages. I don't really care to rehash what I am sure has been of some debate. I am using spamassasian and it catches most things just fine. I was just worried about such an obvious thing that could easily be checked for. I share my dissapointment that such an option doesn't exist. I understand what I was speaking of wasn't a "relay" because it wasn't being relayed to another machine.. I was just confused on the symantecs of what was going on. I was really just speaking of local sanity checks against fradulant emails.
Thanks for the responses, I really do hope a sanity check of this nature could be included in the future as an option. Now I am off to check my own sanity. ~James ----- Original Message ----- From: "Drew Gibson" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Saturday, July 03, 2004 8:59 PM Subject: Re: [courier-users] Blanket Accepting Localmachine relaying > > > James Hart wrote: > > > I have authenication for relaying turned on, that works just fine. > > However, if I test remotly with an account that has an invalid > > username at one of my localhost domains (or accept for domains) and > > send an email to a valid user on the server it goes through.
