Hi Daniel,
I was looking through the forum for issues related to ETRN. Is
IPSwitch going to address this ETRN problem and have a rules based setup
so we can select "accept from local hosts" AND "from these IP
addresses"? It seems silly to have a completely seperate IMail
server/license to handle such a small load (Considering ETRN is only
used when a customer is down).

Subject: Re: [IMail Forum] ETRN / Exchange Relaying Problem
To use 'Store and Forward' and ETRN, relay setting MUST be 'Addresses'.
If
you cannot use that, then ETRN will not work. You do not need enter the
IPs
of every user. Those outside the list of IPs will have to user SMTP Auth
in
their client.
Only other suggestion would be to setup another mail (IMail) server, as
a
Relay for specific IPs and domains. Then you can have the original
server
Relay settings in some other configuration (but I would not recommend
'Local
hosts' or 'Users' as these settings are less than optimal.
