I usually set my roamers to either auth, or use the webmail system if they are
out and about. One of our attorneys was so firewalled by his ISP I had to set
up a vpn for him while he was recouping from some surgery.

I guess nothing is perfect, and it is too bad that we have to jump through all
these hoops just to stop some bastard from flooding your users with fake
v1 at gr@ spams. Just how many people are that stupid to actually BUY something
from these bozo's?
I am in the wrong line of work!  ;-P
