John - I have seen your responses to these type of queries before and in some
cases i.e stopping relaying, disclaimers etc are inclined to take your view.
However, this is an Internet forum where ideally users can come for information
and "we" should be pointing them in the right direction even if it is only
"read the forums and archives". We can however objectively put our point over
rather than the SHOUTS that I recently see going on here. Yes you are right
companies don't realise what's going on behind the send button - that's why
they employ the likes of you and me and the poor sod who has to fight his way
through Exchange with no training offered or ever likely to be (mainly due to
the costs of the courses - and I know we could talk ages about THAT issue) .
All I'm saying is take a step back 'cos people come to the forum for help and
barking at them that they have no business using it helps no one. (Ok it gets';
if off your chest.....)

If you want to play e-mail admin, you have to learn the ropes.
There is no way any one can do justice by explaining briefly how e-mail and
SMPT works.
I am sorry, I IMHO, if you are not experienced with an e-mail server and
SMTP, you have no business using it.
People/companies like you that want their own mail server but have no clue
of all the work that goes on behind "Send Now" button make my job and those
of others that much harder, what with misconfigurations, bad records, open
relays, poor policies and so forth.
