SMTP Virtual Server

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

If that server is acting as an inbound MX, you'll need to allow

connections on its external interface in order to receive mail.

 

Otherwise, if it's purely for outbound mail, you might want to put in

those restrictions.

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 ??

Thanks
