Perhaps not. I believe the answers here are anchoring on the technical angle - that it's possible to do such a thing with Exim. They are not unwittingly helping a spammer. So let the solutions come in. 10 IPs are very few so he'll probably get all blacklisted within a day. Rotating IPs within Exim is possible, but a direct answer to his original question isn't that easy to find - for free anyway:) -- Best regards, Odhiambo WASHINGTON, Nairobi,KE +254733744121/+254722743223 "I can't hear you -- I'm using the scrambler." -- ## List details at https://lists.exim.org/mailman/listinfo/exim-users ## Exim details at http://www.exim.org/ ## Please use the Wiki with this list - http://wiki.exim.org/
