[Assp-user] Mail from remote local users

[Doug T. <dtr...@hf...>]

I had a question posed to me from another ASSP user.  They are a small ISP
and have a large number of users sending email from their desktop clients.
Until recently thier mail program had nothing between it and the internet
and the users could pop and smtp from the same mail.isp.com with a large #
of ip's in the acl.  Now they have added ASSP on the same machine.  They
have dumped the acl into ASSP "accept all mail" but when they try to send
mail remotely, it hits ASSP at port 25 and in some cases is rejected 550 for
relaying.  I told him that the users might have to change thier clients to
hit the mail program 1st which would then send through ASSP to the
recipient.  This could be done by opening the firewall to port xxxx and
having the user change which port smtp sends on, or have the user change the
smtp server to a different name (smtp.isp.com) and add an mx record for
that.  In any case it seems the firewall would have to route mail from
remote users to the mail program and not ASSP.  Is the only other way to do
this popb4smtp?

Thanks for the info,
Doug
