Read the archives. It's been a much discussed topic recently. IIRC, the 100 address limit was confirmed by IPSwitch.

Thanks for the quick reply Scott. Yes, I'm referring to the ACL tab under "SMTP Security" with IP ranges. 100 entries huh? that would be odd (dumb, and other lesser accepted adjectives), I block for instance all of 200/8, 210/8, 211/8, 80/8 and so on. Probably 8 class A's, a whole bunch of class B's, and a BUNCH of '24's, ..... and NEVER see any inbound messages from those ranges. The smaller client recieves about 2500-5000 inbound per day Have been using Imail since 1998, and don't buy that. Not unless they made a change in v8, which of course would be just plain stupid.
