"No mail relay"? With that, spammers can only send *to* your users, unless they have the password of one of your accounts. >theres gotta be a way to block it, because that means people can spam my >network. Note that spammers will always be able to send spam *to* your network, unless either [1] You disable E-mail completely, or [2] You use software to detect spam. Going back to your original E-mail, since different people were interpreting it differently: > >lets say that i send a mail from [EMAIL PROTECTED] Is that an address on your mailserver? Are you sending with that return address to an account on another mailserver? Or are you sending it from another mailserver to your mailserver? >and its not a valid email, What isn't -- the "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"? Or the address you are sending it to? >it still gets through Gets through to where? >if it's posted to a valid user account. how do i correct this?
