Hi all!
I've been searching and googling for some info but without any
success so far, so... I come to the list again for help.
Although I have static IP addresses for my mail servers (obviously)
I've been struggling with my ISP because for some stupid reason
some RBL like SORBS identify my addresses as DHCP addresses and
therefore I've been getting blocked. As I expect that my ISP will
take a loooooonnnnng time before understanding (and eventually
solve) my problem I'm trying to have a quick fix for my e-mail
delivery problems.
I can use my ISP SMTP servers to relay all my mail and that way
they'll not get blocked. The problem with this is that my ISP
demands that I authenticate at the SMTP server with my internet
account user credentials. I know sendmail has this feature from
scratch and I imagine that qmail has this as well. My problem is
that I cannot find where to configure this... Can anyone assist
pelase?
you want to take advantage of the qmail-remote-auth patch, documented
here:
http://wiki.qmailtoaster.com/index.php/Smtproutes
in a nutshell, make sure something like this is the last line in /var/
qmail/control/smtproutes:
:your.isp.mailserver.com yourusername yourpassword

PS: wouldn't SPF be a more reasonable approach that RBL's to fight
SPAM???
only if more sites published SPF records. :) anyway, the goal of SPF
is really to fight spoofing and thus theoretically cut down on spam,
whereas RBLs take a content-based approach. seems to me like that
two work well together; why use only one?
