So the only way is to have them actually log on to the server to
retrieve mail? Is there a way to protect the server via ipchains or
something else to minimize the spammer risk while still having the open
relay?
Basically I have some very slow computer users who panic at any change.
I would really like it if they could just plug the values into netscape
at home and get their mail from here and reply to it if need be.
Thanks
