I must agree completely. Every email server should ship as a closed relay. XMail supports SMTP AUTH by default, so an end user could still relay simply by enabling SMTP AUTH in their email client software. Shipping XMail as an open relay only serves to create more of a problem (email server gets turned into a spam cannon; email server gets blocked by every major ISP). - 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]
