Typically the solution here is to have the client get a set of fixed IP's, and then dial them in. If they can't/won't do that, then unfortunately they must go.

We're an ISP, and any problem is OUR problem. If | auth cannot be made to reliably function on such major | clients as Outlook and Outlook Express (which are used by | about 85% of our clients), then it is no solution at all. | I've looked at auth, since it would cure a good many | problems, especially for those customers who have domains | hosted with us, but do not use us as their provider. | Unfortunately, spam has made other ISPs so paranoid that they | frequently won't deal with mail that is sent from a machine | on their subnet, but with an outside email address. | | --- | AaronC | | | Please visit http://www.ipswitch.com/support/mailing-lists.html | to be removed from this list. | | An Archive of this list is available at: | http://www.mail-archive.com/imail_forum%| 40list.ipswitch.com/ | | | Please visit the Knowledge Base for | answers to frequently asked | questions: http://www.ipswitch.com/support/IMail/ | | Please visit http://www.ipswitch.com/support/mailing-lists.html to be removed from this list.
