So either find another ISP, or don't use their smarthost - there's no reason not to send direct unless you are on a dynamic address or have some configuration issue which prevents ISPs accepting mail from you directly. > 050 235 ok, go ahead (#2.0.0) > 050 >>> MAIL From:<[EMAIL PROTECTED]> AUTH=<> > 050 250 ok > 050 >>> RCPT To:<[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > 050 >>> DATA > 050 250 ok > 050 354 go ahead > > So the mail is passed on by smart host but must still contain envelope > sender which is not something that can pass any type of lookup. Um, there's no confirmation here that they have accepted the message and agreed to deliver it - I'd expect to see something like: 250 2.0.0 k5OEvOlr004930 Message accepted for delivery QUIT 221 2.0.0 relay.your.isp closing connection In this case, it has accepted the message, assigned it local ID k5OEvOlr004930, and confirmed that you have requested the connection be dropped. If you don't see these, your ISP has not accepted the mail. I presume though that you just omitted them? Paul. -- No virus found in this outgoing message. Checked by AVG Free Edition.
