Precedence of SMTP relay control settings

You have not turned off relaying since the first two items are not checked.  I would recommend checking the first three items to turn off relaying and allowing authorized users to relay. You can then set the two internal IP addresses  in the allow section to be allowed to bypass the relaying.

I'm trying to setup my server for STMP relaying, but the manual seems to be a little gray on the relationship between the different types of control.  What is the precedence order for the following relay controls:

  1. Connection Control entries 
  2. Normal vs Strict relay mode
  3. Authenticated STMP mode

For my environment, I want:

  • only authenticate users to send outbound mail  (Any IP addresses as long as they AUTH)
  • BUT accept ALL mail relaying from the IP's of my 2 internal servers (no user/pass needed).

 So, in order to setup that scenario, I need to know the precedence order between each method or relay control.  I would expect the following configuration would create my environment as outlined above.
