Setup SMTP and AUTH on port 465 (ssl) or port 587 and have the clients come in on those ports without external RBL checking SMTP Port 25 really should be for just in and out from other servers so to speak. If you are talking about RBL checking in SA, I dunno. I shut RBL checking off in SA as until I learn how to tell which ones it is checking/using and how to specifically turn them on or off etc. I think using blanket RBL checking in SA is not particularly bright. Maybe we need more buttons, dials, and knobs for that? :-) - rh -- Robert - Abba Communications http://www.abbacomm.net/
