We've recently had a surge in SPAM targeting our global All-Users List. We still need internal users to be able to access any Distribution List, while denying external senders. Thinking that's what the "Allow Remote Mail to Local Groups" checkbox was for, I unchecked it (and restarted the SMTP service). Suddenly, internal users couldn't access any of the Lists.
All internal users AUTH so I assumed they would be considered LOCAL (and allowed), while external senders would be considered REMOTE (and denied). The Log even shows "Authenticated [EMAIL PROTECTED], session treated as local." for every internal user who attempts to send: 12:16 09:15 SMTPD(00050394) [192.168.100.6] connect 192.168.101.112 port 1148 12:16 09:15 SMTPD(00050394) [192.168.101.112] EHLO roycemedical.com 12:16 09:15 SMTPD(00000554) Authenticated [EMAIL PROTECTED], session treated as local. 12:16 09:15 SMTPD(00050394) [192.168.101.112] MAIL FROM:<[EMAIL PROTECTED]> 12:16 09:15 SMTPD(00050394) [192.168.101.112] RCPT TO:<[EMAIL PROTECTED]> 12:16 09:15 SMTPD(00050394) denied remote access to C:\IMAIL\Groups\Daily-Sales.txt (roycemedical.com) 12:16 09:15 SMTPD(00050394) [192.168.101.112] ERR roycemedical.com invalid user <[EMAIL PROTECTED] Is there a way to allow local users access to Distribution Lists, but deny them to non-local senders?
