Suresh I am not exactly sure which part of the website actually had
solution to the issue faced by me.
My scenario was that I was permanently online using anyone one of a set
of ISP's. My mail server was sending out emails directly and not running
as a smart relay. What I used to notice is that during peak loads my
mail server was timing out on mail deliveries to Hotmail and Yahoo. To
solve the problem I had configured my mail server to act as a smart
relay for all recepients in hotmail.com and yahoo.com domain. This setup
worked pretty well for me when I was dialing out to VSNL.
As for rediff.com my ISP didnt give me a FQDN (most ISP's do give you a
FQDN even though it might not be something you like - maybe like
dailup001.del2.vsnl.net.in or something simillar) - I might be wrong but
I believe the server was closing connection saying something simillar.
Anybody who doesnt get a ip name when doing a lookup for their ip
address might want to try sending a email to rediff.com and post to
comment on that.
