That doesn't work so well in an ISP model where users can connect from
anywhere. 

Could IPSwitch make it so that if someone is using SMTP Auth that those
checks do not apply to them because they should be considered local to the
machine? Just like if they use WebMail they are local. There must be a hook
to know that they are SMTP Auth'd when you do your spamchecks no? Declude
has the same problem though I think it stems from Imail not being able to
inform Declude in the files (Q and D) that the person was Auth'd. Having the
ability to know a user is Auth'd in Imail and Declude anti-spam would allow
much more strict filtering which would help to get rid of the spam that
makes it by all the filters because I have to loosen up the filters so my
users can send mail.
