Re: [IMail Forum] Store and Forward on Wednesday 5:33:58 PM
We are doing this the next few days. The only remaining question is
that if I go to 'Relay for Addresses' that the local SMTP AUTH will
work for all other local domains and users. The docs are not clear on
this, at least with regard to addressing directly the different relay
modes. It seems to be universally stated, so I should be able to store
and forward and host auth users too? Just looking for a
confirmation...
I really don't have a choice. I guess, I can presume, some on this
forum appear to be reporting us as an open relay just to force the
issue, or so it appears. None of this happened until we indicated how
we are operating here. It really complicates things as we are trying
to manage so many other projects right now. I hope it is an easy
transition as we have so many users.
Thanks,
