That has nothing to do with it.  In Webshield you *should* be able to set it
to accept any SMTP traffic as long as it is mail destined for domains which
Imail accepts mail for.  It's not that it reads Imail's mind, but you must
configure it for those particular domains.  If you set it for Relay All Mail
(regardless of what Imail is set up as), you will be an open relay and
subsequently blacklisted.  AS a result, your dial-up users will have more
problems than you want.  I think you are getting confused.....that setting
has nothing to do with where your users are COMING FROM, but where the email
is SENT TO.  Anyone (unless blocked via firewall) can connect to anyone's
SMTP server in the outside world.  Whether I can send mail to your domain(s)
or some domain in Nigeria depends on whether your are relaying mail for
everyone or just your domains.  Make sense?

Subject: RE: [IMail Forum] No mail relay/webshield for SMTP


My problem is I have users that use "dial-up" accounts with dynamic IP
addresses and it is becoming a real drag adding every subnet they are
coming from. Webshield does have an Anti-Spam relay setting that lets me
add the domain name..since this is the case would I put our email domain
name and then use no mail relay and clear the "Disable SMTP "VRFY" command?
