Hello all,
Well, I finally got a reply from the Mantra guys. It seems that they've
stopped relaying mails through their mail server. They mentioned that
they needed to do this to prevent spam "and other things." Would anyone
know whether they really have to stop mail relaying to prevent spam?
Anyhow, why is it that I can still send mail by pointing my mail client
directly at del1.mantraonline.com but not through sendmail? Would it
work if sendmail were to masquerade entirely (i.e., masquerade envelope,
plus whatever else)? Perhaps when the sendmail identifies itself to
Mantra's SMTP server, it identifies itself as my localhost's hostname
and maybe that's Mantra rejects it... (I really don't know:) Or is there
an alternative (eg., qmail + maildir2smtp) to sendmail that will work
around this problem? (Basically, I guess, I would need an SMTP server
that would look to Mantra as if the mail is coming through the mail
client...) TIA.
Regards,
Manu.
