Hi Itay, Others already mentioned it - spammers have ruined it for us.
For a practical solution, and the one I use - order a static IP from your ISP and ask that they update the PTR record for your IP to point to an A record. You could also ask them to perform DNS service for you. Yeah, it's not the cheap-ass solution (should cost you $5-150/month more, depending on the ISP), but it's what you can get away with. -- Shachar -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Itay Duvdevani Sent: Saturday, May 21, 2005 2:46 PM To: IGLU Mailing list Subject: Prive mail-server issues (or: I am not a spammer!) Greetings, I am running a mail server on my private linux box at home, which I use to communicate with the world. I am using a free dynamic DNS service for that purpose (dyndns). As a result, I am unable to send email messages to half the world, since my server gets blacklisted all the time (or the receiving server claims it won't receive mail from dynamic DNS servers). This is really annoying. - This is a private mail server, that has more than one user (so the single mail account I've got from my ISP isn't enough). - It has some filtering installed over it (like spamassain etc), so using a 3rd party mail service (name your free pop/web mail provider) is unacceptable (plus, it doesn't carry my domain name, which is an issue with business mail). Is there a way out of this situation any of you can think of? Thanks, - Itay. ====================== To unsubscribe, send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the word "unsubscribe" in the message body, e.g., run the command echo unsubscribe | mail [EMAIL PROTECTED] ================================================================= To unsubscribe, send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the word "unsubscribe" in the message body, e.g., run the command echo unsubscribe | mail [EMAIL PROTECTED]
