What a Mucking Foron. So he thinks that allowing relay by domain name will keep that box out of open relay blocklists? As far as I can see, that host (web28.linux-hosting.com) IS an open relay, and is being blocked by us since Nov 28 last year - and confirmed as an open relay in a routine retest on August 4 this year. Oh look, it is also on the ORDB (http://www.ordb.org) - seems to have been added to it in the last one minute or so :) > He wants us to send mails directly rather than using www.dempos.com for > relay. That too just because of those DSN mails. Sending mail directly > will be too costly on dial-up. Besides which most dialup pools around are on the DUL, Wirehub Dynablock etc. Your mail would bounce on a very regular basis, if you did that. Clearly incompetent, clueless and doesn't know the first thing about mail handling. Just shift out of there ASAP would be my advice. -srs ------------------------------------------------------- This sf.net email is sponsored by: OSDN - Tired of that same old cell phone?
