Sandip, I think the only drawback of Direct-to-mx mailing is that reverse DNS lookups would fail and mail server which have been set to perform that before accepting mail would throw you out. But you face the same wall when you use VSNL/III party mails server to relay mail for your domain. Pardon my ignorance, could you explain why direct-to-mx mailing is stongly discouraged? -js _______________________________________________ ilugd mailinglist -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://frodo.hserus.net/mailman/listinfo/ilugd Archives at: http://news.gmane.org/gmane.user-groups.linux.delhi http://www.mail-archive.com/[EMAIL PROTECTED]/
