That's just it. If your own users, "outside" can send email, so can spammers. Your "outside" users must authenticate. No relay setting is needed for a sender who authenticates. Alas, they must check the box in Outlook that says "My outbound server requires authentication", but that's a far better lump to take than getting blacklisted for spam!

In our accept.txt file, we have all of the IP addresses that our server hosts websites/emails on. How do I add an email to an OUTSIDE person that doesn't have a website with us and we want a form to email them the results? ----- Original Message ----- From: "Travis Rabe" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Monday, July 25, 2005 2:34 PM Subject: RE: [IMail Forum] Accept.txt > Either...No Mail Relay or Relay For Addresses. > > T > >> -----Original Message----- >> From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:IMail_Forum- >> [EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Kathy Lees >> Sent: Monday, July 25, 2005 1:28 PM >> To: [email protected] >> Subject: Re: [IMail Forum] Accept.txt >> >> What should it be set at then? >> ----- Original Message ----- >> From: "Travis Rabe" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> >> To: <[email protected]> >> Sent: Monday, July 25, 2005 2:26 PM >> Subject: RE: [IMail Forum] Accept.txt >> >> >> > UMM...FYI, >> > >> > >> > If you have it set to Local users only, then you are an open relay. >> > >> > >> > Travis >> > >> >> -----Original Message----- >> >> From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:IMail_Forum- >> >> [EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Kathy Lees >> >> Sent: Monday, July 25, 2005 1:18 PM >> >> To: [email protected] >> >> Subject: [IMail Forum] Accept.txt >> >> >> >> We have an auto responder form on our server that gets emailed to us > and >> > to >> >> our client.
