I also have a number of customers that roam. But I fail to see why roaming
customers could not use their home email addresses.
When on the road, all they have to do is set their smtp server address to
the smtp server of the provider they are connected to (i.e. AOL), and leave
everything else alone.
that would be incredibly stupid of the isp to allow.
that's like me allowing someone to send out mail claiming they're address is
[EMAIL PROTECTED]
Their emails go out through AOL's server, but have their home address
(@L7.net) as
the return, and they still use their home inbox to retreive their mail.
How does
roaming prevent them from using their home address?
because no responsible sysadmin would allow it.
Additionally, how does the blocking of outbound port 25 connections from
your dialup
IP ranges relate to the above scenerio? The blocking of dynamic IPs from
running
their own smtp servers is the focus of this thread.
I'm still willing to assume I'm missing the point here. :)
if i block port 25 between 216.173.222.100-250 and the internet, they
*have* to use
my mailserver, or none at all, or webmail, because smtp uses port 25, and
you can't
send mail without it.
