This isnt a pool its a range of one IP did you miss a bit off or is it
212.150.200 /10 which would be huge (but also incorrect as 200 isnt
divisable by 8)

I had problems with this recently but in hind sight after a few weeks
filling gaps in my knowledge found an easier way all though if it is a bad
way of doing it can someone please tell me why as I am a complete newbie and
trying to learn a lot of different.
Each dialup account provider also provides smtp so I have got the last few
users I have set up to use their dialup smtp for outgoing so it never even
goes near our server and just use our server for incoming this alone could
drop traffic to your server by half or more depending on the ratio of
incomming to outgoing mail. Which in turn could mean you only need to buy
half as much bandwidth, hence a big annual saving. And people are allowed to
download from anywhere it is only sending that is restricted..
Imail will only need to relay mail for physically local IP's (i.e. pc's
actually at your site, getting rid of a lot of the security problems
associated with dialup ranges (our dialup provider has over 300 class c
ranges that are supernetted and used by hundreds of different companies for
dial-up)
