If that's the main reason you're running a mail server, then you should look into smart-hosting your outbound mail through your ISP's mail servers. That will solve the problem of being blocked due to generic RDNS for you, and will still allow you to control your incoming mail (because the "From" or "Reply-To" address will still be the address on your mail server). It will also solve the problem with port 25 blocking on your ISP server (I don't know if your ISP is currently doing that or not, but a lot of the major players are pushing it, so it's really just a matter of time - and if getting a static IP and / or custom RDNS is too big a problem with your provider, I suspect that getting a port 25 blocking exception will be also). - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe xmail" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] For general help: send the line "help" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
