Please excuse my ignorance again, but since I have updated my Declude to

guy's optonline? Maybe I'm just tired...
 

That would be quite hard to figure out, but it is likely that if they 
have one block, they have many listed.  Again, you can counterbalance 
for that reverse DNS setting or all the local blocks of IP's, even up to 
the B level if it makes it easier to do.  DUL lists shouldn't be scored 
very high anyway because FP's are common enough and if you aren't 
whitelisting AUTH, it will definitely pick up some stuff.  It's 
important to understand which tests have a high likelihood of 
interacting with others when you add them, such as DUL tests, 
foreign-type tests, bulk mail tests, etc.  It's a balancing act where 
too few of one type can let too much in and too many of one type can 
create those FP's.  Scoring of course should be considered as a 
component of all related tests.  At least that's the way I look at it.  
Maybe you should be trimming back on the EASYNET-DYNA and forged from 
address scores.  I might get some of this stuff to 70% of my fail weight 
with those tests, but it's still passing through and it's helpful with 
blocking.  Your userbase might of course be more challenging in other 
respects as well.

I guess I never really looked.  I just assumed that when mail came from
my server, even if it was to a local user, that it would have the IP of
my server as the sending IP, as it would if my server was sending mail
to another server.

I wonder if I had them authenticate at a different SMTP or did a store
and forward server and having that IP whitelisted, if that would assuage
this issue.

IMAIL 8 scares me.  80% of my users use the web interface exclusively
and the reported slowness will get me tarred and feathered

Does  this  happen with other users? Of course not! Since Declude with
IMail  7.x  and  lower  doesn't  know whether a connection was AUTHed,
there's  no  way  that  this  could work. And with 8.x and higher, the
connecting  IP remains the same even if WHITELIST AUTH is on--as logic
would predict, no?

It's doing what it should, it's testing the sender and not the receiver.

Score both tests lower if you want to use that functionality for this 
purpose, and so that you don't diminish the value of SPAMDOMAINS 
otherwise, you should put it into a different spamdomains type of filter 
file specific to local domains.  You might also want to give a few 
points back for the range of IP's used locally for OPTONLINE.  Upgrading 
to IMail 8 and using WHITELIST AUTH would of course correct much of that 
problem.  I score that same type of filter at 30% of fail weight on my 
system.

In an effort to catch spammers forging my domain, I've added my own
domain to a spamdomain test. Now all e-mails sent through outlook are
failing the test because the server is seeing them as coming from
whatever IP the user is connected to. Since they are mostly OPTONLINE
customers they are also failing EASYNET-DYNA test.  

Why wouldn't they be getting the IP of my server once they authenticate?
Am I missing a setting somewhere?  Is there anything I can do short of
Upgrading from 7.15 to 8.04 and using the Auth White test?
Thanks - Marc
