Is there a way for an ISP to block mail being sent through the localhost SMTP?
I have one RH 9 Linux box in Cebu where I use pine to send mail. The SMTP servier is set to localhost. I run postifx. It works fine when sending email through Mozcom and another satellite office's dialup (they have a DSL line to connect to the internet and we dialup to them for internet connection). On the other hand, I have another RH 9 Linux box Manila configured in a similar fashion (pine, localhost SMTP, postifx). It uses a dialup to a Manila ISP. The problem is that every time I send mail, everything looks fine (no error messages or bounce) but the mail never gets sent. Could my ISP in Manila be blocking the mail? Also, I tried to fix the Manila box by configuring pine to use the SMTP server of my ISP. It works, and the mail gets sent. But there's a long delay between sending the mail in pine and regaining control. It takes 10-15 seconds after I hit CTRL-x in pine untill I can regain control and work on my mail again. is this normal?
