Okay, but you said in one of your original messages that you knew
where they were coming from. Look at the originating IP. Yes,
with the SMTP Security Control Access you can block outside
IP addresses. I do it all the time. I have over half of the AOL
dialup pools in mine.
That is the idea behing Control Access. Blocking external
IP numbers from connecting to your SMTP server.

Hi! Dusty:
OK, but the problem is that they (the spammers) don�t use my smtp server.
My problem is that we are recibing a lot of mails from outside, therefore
with IP filtering we can�t resolve the problem.
