Learn the lingo: your users "relay" their outbound mail through your
Imail server.

Who HASN'T been caught by this one? :
<[EMAIL PROTECTED]
should be
<[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
Imail's ERR msg is misleading. It's not an invalid user but invalid address.

??? yes there is.
>I have the following values in the SMTP Security Tab CHECKED:

This is insecure. UNcheck.
>- Allow Remote mail to local groups
>- Allow remote view of local groups
>- check valid sender

>- disable smtp vrfy command
>- disable smtp auth command
This is insecure. UNcheck. You want all of your users to relay
through you only after successful SMTP AUTH.
