This is the thing to remember. You don't want to enable "relay by domain". Why? Ok, you're at domain "weaver.com" for example. You allow anybody who has an email account with you to relay through your machine. Ok, I say I'm "[EMAIL PROTECTED]" and I send my 2 million spams how to make your sex better. Since it's from "@weaver.com", your mail server happily relays all 2 million messages PLUS gets all the bounces. I hope you can see how fallible that is. The correct solution is pop-before-smtp or (best) authenticated SMTP. Blue skies... Todd
Thats what Pierre was saying. (the pop-before-smtp) the thing is for what ever reason I don't seem to be able to wrap my brain around that just yet. I don't know why, but it's just not making any sense yet.
