Hi, Sorry for breaking the thread. Regarding our discussions with the Subject, Mail delivery problem, I missed a mail from Suresh due to a wrong dns entry and found about it just yesterday. Well, I will be talking in qmail language. Assume I want a mail to be delivered to [EMAIL PROTECTED] ( :) ) which does the helo filtering and tries to map helo to a ip and checks it. So, I cannot deliver mail to him from my local MTA on dialup. So, I use qmail as a smarthost and try to relay mail to him by using control/smtproutes. But my ISP uses SMTP-AUTH. So I patch qmail and now the control/smtproutes file has,
sureshdoesbadhelo.com:mysmtpauthisp.com <encrypted username> <encrypted passwd> So when ever I send a mail from [EMAIL PROTECTED] to Suresh, qmail will re-route it thru' mysmtpauthisp.com:25 which will take the username and password, check it and if found correct will accept the mail for relaying. Ok, till here? Now I want to send a mail to suresh from [EMAIL PROTECTED] qmail will still try to re-route every message to sureshdoesbadhelo.com using same isp (i.e. mysmtpauthisp.com) and same username and password. Am I right till here? Now, when qmail tries to re-route this second message, mysmtpauthisp will check the username and password and then maybe give up with an error like "Relaying Denied" and bounce the message. So, I cannot mail Suresh at all from my design address. Can you please tell if the above thing is right or not and what to do in such cases?
