Hi!
You shuld not open your mailserver for relay !
You can use the relay after authentification feathure in vpopmail ... than users can
relay after the have logged inn to the server, for some time after.
It's basicly bad to poen for relay. Either you shuld let users use dial up ISP's
server, or you shuld let them use webmail. The box will "relay" from localhost...
Don't eve think of making your box wide open for relay!
