Perform a greeting delay for new SMTP connection

Specify a non-zero value here and IceWarp Server will wait that many seconds before responding to an incoming SMTP session.

Most spammers systems will time out very quickly as they want to get as much mail delivered as possible within a short time.

Genuine connections will wait.

Reject if SMTP AUTH is different from sender

Check this option to reject any connections where the Sender information differs from the information used in the SMTP AUTH command.

Use global level POP before SMTP

Check this option and any IP address from which a successfully authenticated POP or IMAP connection was made in the past N minutes (N specified under Security – General) will be allowed to initialize SMTP session with the same rights as if it was successfully SMTP authenticated.

Relay only if originator's domain is local

Check this option to only allow relaying from local domains.
