I have not experienced a problem sending direct from my server but the rejection from receivers because I don't have a static ip is the problem. Many years ago I wrote a script to send queued mail when it determined I had a connection, dial-up. -- (paka)Patrick Shanahan Plainfield, Indiana, USA @ptilopteri http://en.opensuse.org openSUSE Community Member facebook/ptilopteri Registered Linux User #207535 @ http://linuxcounter.net Photos: http://wahoo.no-ip.org/piwigo paka @ IRCnet freenode
