Push Ipswitch hard on this. Complain to them that mail isn't being delivered because they don't have bold warnings explaining that all options except "Relay for Addresses" and "No Mail Relay" will allow spammers to send mail through your servers.OK, so we all aren't as bright and as experienced as you guys and maybe we don't spend our waking hours with iMail. I figured I would just try to ride in one the shirt tail of the other query but didn't expect to be tarred and feathered for it.
I suppose most of you folks must have iMail servers in dedicated environments intranet environments. Would you like to explain to me just how you would apply the latter with a lot of remote users who have transient IP addresses?yes. set SMTP security to "no relay" or "relay for addresses"
This list has been through your situation 1000's of times. Please check the archives.Yes, and you probably will have to go through it many times more. I knew this had been on the board before. I guess that our only recourse will be to use the SMTP AUTH as much as I hate the thought of what I am going to have to go through in the process. But seeing the probing that is going on by outside hackers trying to find legitimate user accounts to forge it is clear it is only a matter of time before we have major problems.
Has anyone had the experience of taking 500+ email accounts on 50+ sites and making them all switch over? I know that what we will have to do is advise all of them to change their setting in all the email applications and then turn the switch. The day we do I am sure I will get endless calls from the clients who didn't bother to read the email advising them of the change telling me they can't send email.
