Did you miss this is some way? http://www.xmailserver.org/Readme.html#configuration In particular the step that says 'THIS IS IMPORTANT'. The difference, giving for granted that user do not read the documentation, is that if I close the relay I will receive tons of email saying (subjects in random order): I cannot send message through XMail ... What does relay denied means ... My server does not work, can you configure it for me ... So basically I have to decide who pays. Myself being personally annoied with those cr*p, or ppl that does not read the doc and gets open relay. I'd better stick my the current setup, what do you think? - Davide - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe xmail" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] For general help: send the line "help" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
