However, they have apparently detected >-something- that I'm not aware of. Rick, EIMS 1.3.1 cannot be secured against all of the relaying tests that ORBS throws at it. Your best bet is to upgrade to 2.2.2 or 3.0 and set the relay restrictions to the 2nd option "Only relay if for local domains or the following domains AND if from a valid IP". Then either setup the range of valid IPs (your subnet and any other static IPs you need to allow to relay) or require the use of SMTP AUTH. This forces the client to authorize itself before EIMS will allow it to relay. Let me know if you need any help here. I had a run-in with ORBS myself about 2 months ago. I used the ORBS filter for EIMS for about a day and a half before I threw it out as they had black listed Compuserve and AOL at the time. What a great idea gone very very awry. I'd be happy to help. -- Sam Lewis, V.P. Technology Tehabi Books http://www.tehabi.com/ 1201 Camino Del Mar, Suite 100, Del Mar, CA 92014 Tel: 626-852-0956 Fax: 916-404-5698 mailto:Sam@tehabi.com
