There is still a workaround. One can specify the smtp server of vsnl while
connected to vsnl
and send mail from any mail address ( ie mail from: [EMAIL PROTECTED])
whereas some of the other ISPs have a better security implementation
wherein
while connected to that ISP you have to specify the smtp server of that ISP
and the (mail from: ) should be from [EMAIL PROTECTED]
A combination of sendmail configuration, hosts.deny and hosts.allow will
implement the required security policy for your organisation.
