The "canonical" solution to this is to configure your mail server to reject all email purporting to be sent *from* your domain name except from a specific set of hosts (e.g. your local LAN, your separate inbound/outbound mail servers etc.) Then, you setup authenticated SMTP, and allow *authenticated* users to send mail *from* your domain. Reconfigure your mail clients to use SMTP authentication, and you're set. Typically, authenticated SMTP is run over SSL on a separate port to regular inbound SMTP from "anonymous" remote sites. This also solves the problem of taking your laptop somewhere and needing to find the local ISP's outbound SMTP server - instead, simply use your own. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.2 (MingW32) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iD8DBQFFZHtnhk3bo0lNTrURAkWTAKDIPQJbJi4ZLGKR8w7Ku7GkadZJ9QCg8rRL 0ghl+imI9rQvzR7Wmj9hD5Y= =nWoS -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
