+<mailet match="RemoteAddrNotInNetwork=127.0.0.1" class="ToProcessor">
+ <processor> spam </processor>
+</mailet>
+</source>
+ <p>because most mail programs will use the external IP address (as opposed to 127.0.0.1) when processing mail, you need to add your internal network and/or your static IP address to this list. You may also use a DNS domain name in this list. The resulting entry would look something like this:</p>
+<source>
+<mailet match="RemoteAddrNotInNetwork=127.0.0.1,192.168.1.*"
+ class="ToProcessor">
+ <processor> spam </processor>
+</mailet>
+</source>
+ <p>This tells the processor that anything not in this address list should go to the spam processor.</p>
+ <p>Please note that if you wish to configure James to allow users to send email from any domain or IP address you will need to disable this matcher. In this situation you must use SMTP AUTH to ensure that your server does not act as an open relay. For more on open relays, please see <a href="http://www.ordb.org">the Open Relay Database</a>.</p>
