I had a server before and i had no such problems before, this problem arised when i moved to a new VPS provider, however the IPs etc as mentioned are not blacklisted or so, (checked from link provided above http://www.spamhaus.org/lookup.lasso . ). My guess is some configuration in postfix, as i never had to set SPF etc. before. As per the open relay thing, i am not sure how to check this, however i will take google help on this, The server is hosted on webmin control panel, can there be a simple setting there which can help me at this, thanks abhishek _______________________________________________ Ilugd mailing list [email protected] http://frodo.hserus.net/mailman/listinfo/ilugd
