Gary,
Try putting the rule for [EMAIL PROTECTED] at the top of the
rule list. I am no expert, but I think that the first match found is
used, so if the mail is comming from a host that is allowed to relay,
and that rule is found first, then the message is accepted.
I know the format of your rule will work for messages comming from
outside your network, as I have rules using the same format that I know
work.
I am not sure about your network rules, as I use a different form to
reject networks. for example, to reject 216.240.130.0 through
216.240.130.255, I use:
216.240.130 550 No Spam allowed.
I hope this helps. You may also find the docs at
