Why wouldn't you send ti through assp?


It's not that I don't want to send through ASSP but it's SMTP only. As I understand it, ASSP acts as a proxy for SMTP from an authenticated user sending email. If the user sends via MAPI or webmail, the outgoing message will never pass through ASSP.

I understand MAPI (boy you are paying through the nose of those users) but why webmail? Unless its OWM

We have a lot of clients using MAPI and webmail, so I'm concerned that ASSP won't work very well under those circumstances.

I don't understand won't work. Of course it works; its a matter of what you see as the amount of care and feeding that needs to be perofrmed.

If all mail goes through ASSP then you off load management to your users. If some outbound mail goes through ASSP then bayesian can still be constructed and you could provide a web based interface to be used in lieu of the email interface for control by those who use MAPI. That would be pretty simple. If no outbound then build web I/F for control and tell ASSP to infer not spam from incoming mail unless overridden by your users using the web interface.
