qmail, are you a MS agent? Don't let me get my hands on you. It was because the mx entry for staticky.com servers was different in the 2 nameservers. Hence few mails were delivered in server one and few to server two. > So basically, your ISP has relay checks for both SMTP AUTH and the > domain > in From: and you need to find a way to re-route the mail in case the > From > address does not match to the ISP's domain. > > Ain't this getting too complicated?

If my ISP just uses SMTP-Auth then I can send my yahoo, rediffmail, indiatimes mails also using that as relay. Is it OK? I mean would you do it? The correct way would be to check the username and domain in From field too, right? (same goes for pop-before-smtp) BTW, it is a bit strange to hear this from you (and Suresh), people who advocate "helo filtering" for spam control to their servers. Please read my next mail on why I think "helo filtering" is bad.
