What's the advantages/disadvantages to having this set to a time period as opposed to never?

You only need this set if you want to allow "outside" users to use SIMS SMTP with the "read before send" method.

Chris <----------- Total Idiot When It Comes To SIMS

Forgive me for asking, but was is the "read before send" method?

It was my understanding that this value "authenticated IPs are treated as Client ones" was for nothing more than to permit someone who connects to the SMTP service and is authenticated in SIMS to be able to send a message within this window of opportunity in addition to retrieving mail.

If I have this set to "never" will that prohibit our users from accessing their mail?

I am wondering: Does SIMS do POP connections by requesting authentication, and then once authenticated, allow access to the mailbox, or is it vice versa?

I guess I'm not 100% sure on this, but I was under the impression that the POP service will answer when the client, no matter the network they're coming from, requests access to that mailbox, dependent on a successful authentication within SIMS.

Does SIMS additionally check the source IP in the header for inclusion in the Client Host List BEFORE it authenticates and grant access to the box?

Only if you have "Relay for clients only" checked and no external IPs in your Client Hosts list.

That's the deal.  :^)

Thanks,

Chris
