I never said it wasn't with the rights of the ISP, I said change ISPs because other have no problem with this.
When I relay for my clients, My mail server checks the actual connections IP not an address from a spoofable header. Yes the hosts file is where you can spoof I mean setup your domain to IP link Ben Johansen - http://www.pcforge.com Authorized Witango Reseller http://www.pcforge.com/WitangoGoodies.htm Latest downloads & List Archives @ http://www.witango.ws -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] On Behalf Of Bill Conlon Sent: Friday, September 27, 2002 9:57 AM To: Multiple recipients of list witango-talk Subject: RE: Witango-Talk: Tango Sending Email... I disagree. The ISP is absolutely within its rights to only relay mail from within its NETBLOCK. Although Robert Shubert's statement that the server should have a static address is correct; it's irrelevant. The Tango server is apparently firewalled (or at least NAT'ed) and is presenting a private address, such as 192.xxx.xxx.xxx. How can the ISP accept mail from this address without opening a relay for anyone on a private network? I believe you can create a host file entry on the app server, so when Tango comes up, it resolves to a name within your domain. This should do the trick. >I agree totally here, I do it for my clients also. >If your ISPs email software can't handle it find another ISP > >Ben Johansen - http://www.pcforge.com >Authorized Witango Reseller http://www.pcforge.com/WitangoGoodies.htm >Latest downloads & List Archives @ http://www.witango.ws > > >-----Original Message----- >From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] >[mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] On Behalf Of Robert Shubert >Sent: Friday, September 27, 2002 12:35 AM >To: Multiple recipients of list witango-talk >Subject: Re: Witango-Talk: Tango Sending Email... > >David, > >This does make 'sense' although the terms seem a little off.
