Hello Scott! The option "Check Valid Sender" does not filter these messages. The log show that Imail (5.09) turns the address in a "valid" when processing e.g. [61.....201] HELO Zdlm [61.....201] MAIL FROM: <[EMAIL PROTECTED] > ... ... 06:14 04:47 SMTP-(000000C7) >MAIL FROM:<[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
I set up a rule F~\.com\s>:kill I hope this helps!? And you are right - we should change to "No mail relay" and we will but we have to wait for a new server to transfer account by account - otherwise users will strain the support people all at once. We have no problem with spam mails at the moment - the "Relay for local hosts only" option does a quite good job resp. there seem to be more "open" mail servers around :-) Have a nice day!
