Well....that is another issue we are finally being forced to address.
In the first place we are still running iMail 7.07 - we weren't willing to
pay what I considered to be overpriced upgarde fees. So we can't use the
Whitelist Auth option.
We have a lot of users who know how to read their email, but not much
more. So moving them up to full authentication was something we put off
until we ran into ORDB finding that they could relay through the Root
account even though it had a changed password and was disabled. That still
bothers me, but that is the way it is.
We had relay for local user set and this had served us OK up to now. We
now have to bite the bullet and force all the users to learn how to set the
authentication option in their various email applications. It would have
been handy if the manufacturers had all set this as a default, but they
don't. They each seem to have it somewhere different from each of the
others and like to change things from one version to the next. Especially
Netscape. We are preparing to send a mass message to all accounts on this
issue. I think most have been instructed over the past year or so to be
prepared to do this so it may not be as bad as I fear.
As for whitelisting we have not done this with local domains because of the
limitation on whitelisting in Declude (200) in the golobal.cfg file. We
have not so far tried to use the domain level whitelist file.
