This has always been the problem with IMAIL. This was why I suggested a
while ago to if Microsoft SMTP server would be a good replacement for Imail.
It won't be a good replacement, but if you run them both on the same machine
with different ip addresses this should solve your problem. This way you can
have everyone use SMTP Auth for thier email and have coldfusion set up to
use Microsoft SMTP on another port and allow only it to connect to it. THis
should solve your problem. I have had problems though trying to get this
configuration to work.

Hi everyone,

iMail 7.05HF2, Win2K.

Well, I had set our SMTP Mail Relay option to "Relay for local hosts
only".
Yep... Got blackholed by ORBZ.  I've done the research and seen the
postings
here.  The general consensus is, use "No Mail Relay" and require SMTP
AUTH
on our mail clients.  Fair enough -- I'll have to reconfigure about 150
mail
clients, but it's doable.

The problem is, we have a ColdFusion server that must send mail through
this
server, and the CFMAIL tag does not have username/password attributes.
What
I need is the ability to use SMTP AUTH *or* allow my ColdFusion server's
IP
address -- I think.  Unless there's another way.

How can I stay off the spam lists, but still allow JUST my ColdFusion
server
to send mail through this iMail server without authenticating, AND
require
our actual mail clients to authenticate?  No, we can't know the IP
addresses
of the mail clients.

Other settings that you guys might comment upon while pondering this...

checked -- allow remote mail to local groups
checked -- allow remote view of local groups
checked -- refuse NULL <> Senders
checked -- check valid sender
checked -- auto-deny possible hack attempts
NOT checked -- disable SMTP "VRFY" command
NOT checked -- disable SMTP "AUTH" reporting

Thanks in advance for any help you can offer!

Marc
