Unfortunately, not enough of you newbies are very good FAQers.

If you FAQ with me, man, I'll FAQ you back:

1. "relay for addresses"  ONLY

2. UNcheck "Disable SMTP AUTH reporting"

3. Require all users to use SMTP AUTH for relaying mail through your box.

4. Implement anti-ip-spoofing at your border router.

5. Put your default Imail hostname and ip in NT/W2K hosts file.
