Yea, I'd toy with the VPN solution a little harder - this is a bit too kludgy for me.

So they use local AT&T isp wherever they are, but it was also "deemed" that the email was too sensetive to use the AT&T mail server so they had to connect to us. its hard to explain. No matter how i tried to lock down the server from relaying i couldnt allow this limited group of people the ability to email people on the internet. Thats why we needed the invisible IMS, that way these people could log on, get email and send email to either company personel and/or people on the internet. its a crappy situation, i'm pushing for a better RAS solution and the funds increase on our 800 number so we can get these users off local ISP's. I'm also toying with VPN solutions. I really like jim saunders idea of "authenticated relay" _________________________________________________________________ List posting FAQ: http://www.swinc.com/resource/exch_faq.htm Archives: http://www.swynk.com/sitesearch/search.asp To unsubscribe: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Exchange List admin: [EMAIL PROTECTED] ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ The information contained in this email message is privileged and confidential information intended only for the use of the individual or entity to whom it is addressed.
