Fix what? You really have me confused... there is nothing to fix when your ISP assigns one block to dial-up and another block to ISDN, but the RBL lists just block the whole range... for example: 192.168.0.1 - 192.168.0.62 for ISDN (subnet mask 255.255.255.192) 192.168.0.63 - 192.168.0.255 for dialup users The RBL lists would block 192.168.0.0/24 instead of just the later half of the range. > Please don't forget that Internet mail is a priviledge, not a right.

Last time I checked (and as you stated), AOL bounce mail to their own SMTP servers. > If you have a static IP, which is IMHO the only one suited to > provide "real" server services, then your provider should be able to > adjust the PTR DNS record so you don't fall into the dial-up pools. Adjusting the PTR DNS records doesn't stop you falling into the mentioned brackets above (yes I know I used private address ranges as an example) for example. It just changes your name when somebody does a lookup. If you're blocking by IP range (which is what RBLs do), names don't mean a thing. - -- Jonathan Angliss ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- iQA/AwUBPnid/CuD6BT4/R9zEQIgPgCghAND01GSKan4ppPOQKhmD31d2M8AoOJo scZaRlPo1cA7+hMJfc5ZTd78 =3XTF -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- ________________________________________________ Current version is 1.62 | "Using TBUDL" information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html
