<IMMO> Since, some folks have not heard about Postini's SPAM + Anti-Spy + Any-AV all in one Software As A Service Solution -- I thought giving folks a short description about the solution would be beneficial. With this kind of interest in Postini (+40K companies) and a less then 0.1% false positive rate.... This solution is a serious alternative as Not everyone has your combination of skills, time, server resources to roll their own solution. I personally, belive, that blending open source and commerical solutions provide a signficant upside. And this is just ONE way not the ONLY way to solve a technology problem. I am offended buy your comment sir -- even in fun - to be clear my original eMail did NOT solicit any business from the list. Your comments take away from the urgency of the issue at hand and the fact that my customers are getting buried by SPAM! Beside, their are plenty of commercial solutions for eMail Filtering and compliance like SonicWALL's eMail Security Appliance which also would require this same configuration. </IMMO> It is my understanding that "Mail-Auth" was designed be to implement a submission port as defined by RFC 4409? In fact, RFC 4409 states: "3.2. Message Rejection and Bouncing. MTAs and MSAs MAY implement message rejection rules that rely in part on whether the message is a submission or a relay. For example, some sites might configure their MTAs to reject all RCPT commands for messages that do not reference local users, and configure their MSA to reject all message submissions that do not come from authorized users, with authorization based either on authenticated identity or the submitting endpoint being within a protected IP environment." Beyond Mr. Francis prior insights, I'm interested to here additional comments about how to xMail should respond to Relay'd eMail when using "Mail-Auth". Finally, in the document we should clarify how something like "96.227.65.4" is interpreted when use in conjunction with slash notation? Is this equal really to "96.227.65.4/32"? I think the docs should be updated to say one way or the other. I hope you can see how one my interpret the documentation. Davide can you please tells how this works exactly?
