ssh tunnel? Can you be a bit more specific please? I would like to know
about it more.

I hope you are not taking this personally. I meant/mean that I certainly
won't like to have a paid email account on a server where people on
dial-up cannot send mails. Come'on we are in India. Most of us are on
dial-up.

75-80 MB??? Is that mistyped o misunderstood by me? 80Mb email is hardly 
anything. 
I agree stopping spam is a problem but insisting on domain name is not a 
solution. Just an example below, 
The problem again is in my /var/qmail/control/smtproutes file
lists.sourceforge.net:some-domain.com

Now I want to send mail from some-other-domain.com to
lists.sourceforge.net, but when I send the mail the mail insists on
going out of some-domain.com which rightly rejects it.
In this situation how do I send mails to lists.sourceforge.net?

Yes, I am rich because I don't insist on helo resolving :)
You want to be rich too?
