I'm confused... above you say that they don't allow relaying from outside their network 'no matter what'... then you say you need their relay service while outside their IP block... You appear to be saying that it is when sending from outside their IP block that they do this relay filtering based on an easily forged 'From: header. What I'm saying is that it is *much* easier to spook a 'From:' header that to sniff/crack an unsecured smtp_auth session. Not that its *hard* to sniff a plain text smtp_auth session - just that its harder than spoofing a 'From:' header. Any ISP that doesn't allow the use of TLS for sending while outside their networks is not to be trusted, so my original comment stands - I'd get another ISP if possible. This has gone way OT for mailman though... sorry... -- Best regards, Charles ------------------------------------------------------ Mailman-Users mailing list Mailman-Users@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/mailman-users Mailman FAQ: http://www.python.org/cgi-bin/faqw-mm.py Searchable Archives: http://www.mail-archive.com/mailman-users%40python.org/ Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/mailman-users/archive%40jab.org Security Policy: http://www.python.org/cgi-bin/faqw-mm.py?req=show&file=faq01.027.htp
