Sounds like you have you relay option set to local domains...this is not
secure as you have found out...The only safe relay setting are no mail relay
or relay for addresses...If you already have this setup like that then you
have a compromised userid/password combination

Subject: [IMail Forum] No user in local domain?


Hi;

Is there any reason for IMail not to accept emails from Users that do not
exist when it knows all users in a domain?

We are getting tons of spam that get blocked later from made up users in our
various domains.

E.g.:  [EMAIL PROTECTED]

I understand spammers try to do this hoping that we have whitelisted our own
domain but when this user does not exist shouldn't IMail simply not accept
email from this address?

This will save so much processing time later..

Regards,
Kami
