Nothing is stopping you from sending from another smtp server. The problem people have been complaining about is that spamassassin is adding a score of 1-2 for anyone who sends from a host other than what we stated in the SPF rule. I personally don't remember the reasons for the SPF argument so I can't speak for that in a reasonable manner. When SPF was added, I don't believe SA was scoring emails in this way so it wasn't as much as a deal then. We probably should look into seeing if we can get around that, but as you've seen Kurt/Andrea have already made up their mind. I let them deal with the mail system so they have a say on that for now. -- Lance Albertson <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Gentoo Infrastructure | Operations Manager --- GPG Public Key: <http://www.ramereth.net/lance.asc> Key fingerprint: 0423 92F3 544A 1282 5AB1 4D07 416F A15D 27F4 B742 ramereth/irc.freenode.net
