Thanks for the reply Scott.

Unfortunately i'm running imail 7.07 and it doesn't look like we'll be going
to 8.x anytime soon.  So, if i change my spf record to include the ip pool
of my dialup users, i should be ok, correct? or, i could change the -all to
~all, correct?  however, i'll still have a problem for users that
authenticate off my network, for example, people on vacation or on a
business trip.

No.  Otherwise, it would defeat the purpose of SPF:  A spammer could
connect to your mailserver and send out spam.

What you can do in this case (if you are running IMail v8) is add a line
"WHITELIST AUTH" to your \IMail\Declude\global.cfg file, to whitelist all
users that authenticate.
