The "simple" rule is internal_networks are really YOUR internal networks that are in the path of mail messages from the place they are received up to the machine running SA. They have to be specified in terms of the addresses SA will see when it queries them. trusted_networks would generally include all your internal networks, since you presumably trust them. HOwever, if you don't trust your users to not send spam to other users, you may want to leave the frontend mail distribution machine out of the trusted list. There would generally not be a lot of point in trusting external networks. For one thing, it will only extend the trust boundary IF they connect directly to your trusted hosts. If they relay through an untrusted host somewhere, it no longer matters if they are trusted. The trust boundary stops at the first untrusted host, since you can't trust any following headers to not be forged. Loren
