Well here's the situation, many of our field offices (with SLOW
connections, 14.4 28.8)
cannot feasibly use exchange RPC over http , so they use the SMTP of their
ISP, half of the stuff they attempt to send gets caught in the spam filters
due to the various factors-
If I can get smtp auth up and running on exim that can in theory help my
particular case,however, correct me if i;m wrong, I would have to create a
list of said field staff user id's and passwords to allow them to relay ?
