I guess you are in the case where clients send mail from inside your network to the outside. So going through your smtp server costs you no extra bandwith anyway. But when they send mail from outside to outside ( for example my client has an internet access with AOL and sends a mail to MSN), I have no reason to get their mails relayed by my SMTP server, costing me bandwith in both sides ( incoming and resend ) + server utilization I think that some of us manage mail mostly for their own organization, while others act as small ISP, both situations are very different Benoit This is the discussion list for the IMS Free email server software.
