Thanks,  this  did  not  work...  I  have  users  who  are having many
problems.  I  also have more Outlook 97 users than I expected who have
to  upgrade  as  SMTP  AUTH is not in Outlook 97. I have so many angry
users  right  now  I  might  have  to back out of this. I made sure my
BlackIce firewall is not messing with ports 25 or 110.
confirm that by seeing them fail to authenticate in your Imail logs

 I have 'Disable
SMTP Reporting' unchecked. I am using 'Relay for Addresses'. What am I
doing wrong?
You done all you can, there are no knobs to twist for SMTP AUTH. It's always on, can't turn it off, even if you "disable SMTP AUTH reporting".

Very  often when testing I am getting an error that the senders domain
is  'not  a gateway'.
Imail anti-relay doesn't care about sender domain, only about recipient domain.

This is very strange. My address when sending is
on  the local server. Why would it say the destination domain is not a
gateway  then  block  the  mail  sending?  This  is  also happening to
properly configured Pegasus errors:
The "gateway" feature probably means Imail is checking Windows hosts file to see if it has been told be a relay/gateway for the recipient domain. ie, the check of the recipient domain is

"am I to relay to this recipient domain because it is:

1) listed in my localdomains? ("not localhost")

2) listed in hosts file? (ie, I'm "not a gateway, ie, Imail is not a relay/gateway for this recipient domain)

else, unauthenticated relay attempt denied"

When SMTP AUTH is successful, Imail logs "user treated as local" as if the sender was sending from Imail's ip or IMail's "relay for addresess", ie, the sender is totally trusted to send to any recipient domain.

Can you see their SMTP AUTH attempts failing in IMail logs?
