Yes, I'm told that's how we did it in the previous mail server, but apparently it allowed (by what mechanism I know not) somebody from the outside to use it as an open relay, which appears to have gotten us on a rather significant blacklist.

Is there a way to either prevent this hijacking from happening, or to have the OS/400 SMTP authenticate itself, or even to have it relay through something other than the mail server (e.g., the firewall in our Linksys router)?

I'm grasping at straws here, and I don't know enough about the mechanics of email to even be sure I'm asking the right questions (nor am I the email administrator).
