> (1) no SPAM or Anti-Virus checking How does using a different SMTP server effect your inbound spam filtering? Cox subscribers are forced to use the cox SMTP so what? The only way this should effect your declude is that auto-whitelist may not work. If you still want to scan on the senders IP, adjust your HOPHIGH accordingly.

I'm confused, how does moving the extra HOP from the COX smtp to a second SMTP inside your building effect your inbound spam checking? Attachment limitations can be a PITA. As an administrator I'm surprised you don't have an inbound VPN connection to your office anyways which would bypass their filters and allow you to tunnel to your own SMTP. ( that's what we do ). I understand this wouldn't work for customers... We infact do something similar running secondary SMTP services on port 125 (we find its easier to teach stupid people to add a digit in front of the port number rather than changing one). If your reasoning is for something like auto-whitelist you will also need to set that secondary SMTP server to "smarthost" via IMAIL (sending ALL outbound mail via IMAIL and not using MX/DNS to deliver). Also hopefully you are using SMTPAUTH or have allowed individual Ips into the MS-SMTP service, open relays on odd ports can also be bad. -----Original Message----- From: William Baumbach [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, July 01, 2003 12:58 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [Declude.JunkMail] Cox SMTP If you did not know Cox the High Speed Internet provider of cable modems.
