This is not a spam filter feature. I am looking for a builtin feature in Vopmail. If a message is coming from an authenticated user, they can only send messages out with a FROM field that has their domain name only. They can't use something like [EMAIL PROTECTED] because I don't host hotmail, regardless if they were authenitcated by the mail server. Same thing with trusted IPs. Trusted IPs are servers that use scripting languages to send out messages through the mail server. I don't want a customer sending out spam just because he's on a server that's trusted by the mail server. Even in this case, it won't prevent them from using another domain name that I host. These scripting languages should have authentication functionality built into them. For example, in asp, you have to use your username, password to be able to send out messages and you can't only use your domain name in the FROM field.
