Well, you can then just use authenticated SMTP for COM objects unable to use it themselves. By having IIS SMTP be non authenticated, and then have the IIS SMTP server do authenticated SMTP against the Imail server when it connects to pass on the mail, means you don't need to put in relay rules on the Imail server. However, just adding the network range to Imail would be simpler to configure... just mentioning how I did it really :) - Keif Gwinn IARNA, a Hostway Company 6&7 Harbour Exchange Docklands London E14 9GB t: +44 207 538 8000 f: +44 207 538 8001 w: http://www.iarna.com To Unsubscribe: http://www.ipswitch.com/support/mailing-lists.html List Archive: http://www.mail-archive.com/imail_forum%40list.ipswitch.com/ Knowledge Base/FAQ: http://www.ipswitch.com/support/IMail/
