I would if I could. Earthlink does NOT offer a static IP for cable internet accounts. Earthlink will NOT provide any DNS services, like making a PTR record.

Subject: Test Msg to cs.com Sent: 11/06/03 13:41 The following recipient(s) could not be reached: [EMAIL PROTECTED] on 11/06/03 13:41 Unable to deliver the message due to a communications failure The MTS-ID of the original message is: c=US;a= ;p=ApolloInfoSys;l=APOLLO1-031106194050Z-1991 =============================================== The Exchange Server is on an Earthlink Cable Internet network with dynamic IP. I have read that there may be two reasons for rejecting the mail: 1. Incorrect reverse DNS 2. AOL blocks all EMail from the broadband user networks like Earthlink.net So it would appear that I need to find an EMail host that I can relay our outbound mail to. =============== MY QUESTIONS: =============== 1. Do you agree with my assessment of the problem? If not, what do you think it is and how can I fix it? 2. Can you recommend an EMail host that will accept relay from our Exchange Server 5.5? BACKGROUND INFO: Mail Server is Apollo1.ApolloIS.com IP is 24.238.172.104 Reverse DNS is: user-0cetb38.cable.mindspring.com Best Regards, JMU Jim Underwood Apollo Information Systems, Inc. _________________________________________________________________ List posting FAQ: http://www.swinc.com/resource/exch_faq.htm Web Interface: http://intm-dl.sparklist.com/cgi-bin/lyris.pl?enter=exchange&text_mode=&lang =english To unsubscribe: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Exchange List admin: [EMAIL PROTECTED] _________________________________________________________________ List posting FAQ: http://www.swinc.com/resource/exch_faq.htm Web Interface: http://intm-dl.sparklist.com/cgi-bin/lyris.pl?enter=exchange&text_mode=&lang =english To unsubscribe: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Exchange List admin: [EMAIL PROTECTED] _________________________________________________________________ List posting FAQ: http://www.swinc.com/resource/exch_faq.htm Web Interface: http://intm-dl.sparklist.com/cgi-bin/lyris.pl?enter=exchange&text_mode=&lang=english To unsubscribe: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Exchange List admin: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
