Weird? You want anyone to be able to relay? Have you looked at the POP
before SMTP option?

The best option is for them to use their ISP SMTP server with their own
domain email address set in E-Ver mail program.

**************************************************
I agree, the best option is to have my clients use their ISP's SMTP server
for sending; that way it's less maintenance for me. On the other hand, if
they're using *AOL* or one of the other Online services for Internet access,
I'll have to enter a IP range [3 octets](to account for dynamic dialup
ip's), which seems to work fine.

If all this sounds crazy, I've had a spammer try to relay through my server,
and it just clogs up the works and my clients get spammed even more than
they should.
