Re: [Security-Discuss] Problems of SPAM with Postfix

Ok, I understood that it's not at all a good idea :)
So, what should I do to have a server that relays mail to every network 
only from mailboxes @itm5?
It's what I'd like to have, but I'm not sure it's possible....
Thakyou another time for your precious help :)
