I currently am trying to send out 26,000 emails and the system is just
sitting there with 10 SMTP Processes just sitting there. Why does it seems
that it cannot send out mass amounts of email. It seems that if the Spool
directory fills up it just dies. Any ideas? I really need help!!!!

Let me make sure I understand, correct me if I'm wrong. But from all these
postings I've determined:
Relay for anyone: iMail will send any mail it's asked to send
Relay mail for address: iMail will send any mail that originates from
specified IP addrs
No Mail Relay: iMail will not relay any mail
Local Hosts Only: iMail will relay any mail where the from field claims to
be one of my domains
Local Users Only: iMail will relay any mail where the from field claims to
be one of my users
So I haven't really made it much harder at all to send spam through my
server. If I choose relay for addresses and give it my internal IP block
then only outside users dialed into other ISPs will need to enable SMTP
auth. All other users, including users sending mail from the imail web
templates will be unaffected.
Please forgive me, I'm sure all of this is painfully obvious to all you
email veterans. Thank you so much everyone who has helped out!

Relay for Local Hosts is still a wide-open door for spammers. All they
have to do is spoof the mail-from address to be one from your system,
like "[EMAIL PROTECTED]".
You need to set Relay Mail for Addresses, then set your IP(s) to allow
sending from. Spoofing IP's is significantly more work for spammers, and
few do it. Only router programming will stop that.
Also, you should not refuse mail from NULL senders; otherwise, bounce
notices from other MTA's will, uh, bounce, because the RFC's specify a
NULL sender for those types of messages.
Hope this helps,
