I still can't get TLS to work but I'm looking past it because ASSP has been so incredibly awesome in every other respect.

I had the same problem when I first installed ASSP but I forget what caused it or maybe I never quite figured it out

I did have some problems with, for some reason, the wrong permissions on some files so ASSP couldn't read or write. Don't ask me how that happened - but it may be worth a check.

There is something not working around the localDomains or something I don't understand - I never did get the LDAP lookups to work nor can I seem to get the SMTP VRFY to work either. Our accounts don't change much so it isn't a big deal.

Do you have localDomains file populated? localDomains must contain your local domain names or else hel checking must be turned off.

Yup doubled checked that one too.

It seems to be working now once I disabled all Hel checking, Forged etc. Turned on testmode.. Turned off test mode. Re-enabled some of the checking. All of it's on scoring rather than some on block.

As a side note one thing that's different now is the whitelist message from the email interface. It used to respond and say xxx@xxxxxxx was added to whitelist or say xxx@xxxxxxx already exists in whitelist. Now I get a blank message but when I got to the whitelist file, the email address is actually whitelisted.

I'm still getting a lot of invalid and suspicious helo but it seems like the mail is getting through again. I'm probably not as protected as I was. ;-)
