at then you could give each customer a different internal interface and establish your own reputation metrics as a basis for routing their mail to your Internet-facing mail servers, in effect creating a risk pool for mail senders. It's still expensive and sub-optimal, but it's not entirely doomed. More importantly, it's a path toward the re-evaluation of the business model.

hat your users are not to originate mail "from" their accounts outside of your network then you are not dropping any legitimate mail.

It's doing what you're asking... "REJECT" means bounce the message. You probably want to "DISCARD" it. There *MAY BE* legitimate reasons for for mail to come into your network from a server outsite the network addressed to one of your users and purporting to be from that user. For example, test messages from remote workers sending through their home ISP. Just so that you are aware of the other side of the issue. Chris Babcock signature.asc Description: PGP signature
