Most ISPs refuse to support secure SMTP because of the perceived cost of encryption. The relayer does, but charges you twice as much for using TLS (actually, mails/bytes are billed against your account limit at 2x their value). But that's unrelated to...
the fixed-address stuff: they sell allowable addresses in blocks of 15, probably figuring that if you're representing more than 15 mail addresses, you're really a business and should be paying more. A real nuisance for Linux systems where every daemon and his brother sends mail with a different "From:" address. ------------------------------------------------------ Mailman-Users mailing list Mailman-Users@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/mailman-users Mailman FAQ: http://www.python.org/cgi-bin/faqw-mm.py Searchable Archives: http://www.mail-archive.com/mailman-users%40python.org/ Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/mailman-users/archive%40jab.org Security Policy: http://www.python.org/cgi-bin/faqw-mm.py?req=show&file=faq01.027.htp
