I'd address this also to [EMAIL PROTECTED], but my prior message evoked:

I've not seen a 'Confirmed network-wide opt-out' SMTP response before. 

Any idea what it indicates, apart from the obvious rejection of mail?

I set my sendmail to issue that in response to some spammer foolishness about
opt-in and opt-out and their bogus assertion regarding opting-out of their
mailings. What is more to the point is that your message was rejected because
your connecting domain, lnk.telstra.net was entered into my local, private,
set-and-forget blocklist a long time ago for sending spam.

Thank you for attempting to reply to my question, though.
[The telstra.net entry in my blocklist has also been removed].


The pointers sent regarding incoming PPP have veen very useful.
The last time I set this up I was on a BSDI system, and the protocol was 
handled by
pppd, not the ppp client. I kept looking for pppd related info, and didn't look 
at
the (newer) ppp client pages.
