I think This posting from The Linux India List explaing quite a lot of
things! Most ISP's have a single point mailserver i.e. though typically one
has a mail ID like for [EMAIL PROTECTED] . This is redirected through a MX
record to a dedicated machine which handles*Mail only*. It seems that relays
from giascla have been blocked at many Places. SInce the mail relay is
normally  common , We are getting a mail relay denied message. The Message
is reproduced below FYI.
I think that we should take this up seriously ASAP with Vsnl calcutta
office. Maybe gherao tham as indra suggested!
Can You tell me what u think about this - Arup
