Please be very careful how you proceed here. I agree that dynamic IP addresses are inappropriate for SMTP. But, not all DSL addresses are dynamic. I run SMTP over DSL with a static IP and full DNS support, including reverse delegation. This is perfectly legitimate. I am not operating an open relay. I have not spammed anyone. AFAICT, I am in complaince with IEC best practices for SMTP. If I am doing something wrong, please notifiy me via postmaster, and I will fix it. Otherwise, you have no right to tell me I should not do this. :-) Regards, -- Jack O'Quin Austin, Texas, USA
