However, I don't get how your ISP can block *outgoing* connects of your sendmail. Some isp's block incoming connects on 25. -- dick -- http://www.nagual.st/ -- PGP/GnuPG key: F86289CE ++ Running FreeBSD 4.7 ++ Debian GNU/Linux (Woody) To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with unsubscribe freebsd-questions in the body of the message

However, I don't get how your ISP can block *outgoing* connects of your sendmail. Some isp's block incoming connects on 25. What he means is, that his ISP blocks all connects to port 25 which are not directed at their SMTP server. Fairly common practice, these days. Hence, he cannot send mail out using his own SMTP server. Many of my users had the same problem: their ISP would not allow them to connect to my SMTP server. That was easily solved, as I simply opened a second DaemonPort (sendmail), and offered my users to connect to that alternate port (in the high 7000+ region). That would allow THEM to bypass their ISP restriction. My server, of course, still sends out via port 25. So, setting his smarthost would indeed solve the problem, as his ISP will allow him to send through their own SMTP server. - Mark System Administrator Asarian-host.org --- If you were supposed to understand it, we wouldn't call it code. - FedEx To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with unsubscribe freebsd-questions in the body of the message

I am informed that this kind of action is due to AOL getting uppety with Demon forcing them to restrict their network simliarly, due to AOL customers being SPAMMED by mail that appears to originate from Demon Networks... BT is doing similar to their dynamic IP customers... Thought this might interest a few of you ;-) Doesn't sound good. It sucks. Thought things were bad in Holland, but here some isp's only block incoming #25 (and that is easely beaten ;-)) And even that give quite a stirr.. and very few therefor do so. -- dick -- http://www.nagual.st/ -- PGP/GnuPG key: F86289CE ++ Running FreeBSD 4.7 ++ Debian GNU/Linux (Woody) To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with unsubscribe freebsd-questions in the body of the message
