Guest Dave Mc Posted October 12, 2007 Posted October 12, 2007 I am wondering what the "Current sessions" under Default SMTP Virtual Server" mean ? In the right hand panel, users seem to com and go but not "my" users. Does this mean someone(s) are using my mail server ? I have the relay set to only allow ip's from my lan. Should I also restrict Connection control to just my lan ip's ?? Thanks

Otherwise, if it's purely for outbound mail, you might want to put in those restrictions.
Guest Dave Mc Posted October 12, 2007 Posted October 12, 2007 Re: SMTP Virtual Server Thanks for the reply. This came up because of two things. Our domain has been black listed with a couple of companies (Hotmail being one) and our users have started receiving Delivery staus notifications concerning emails they did not send (at least on purpose). Anything else I should check ??
