WRONG!... Good ISP - very, very good ISP. > 2. As for outgoing mail, I tried relaying to ISP smtp, works. Again, ISP > does not allow mail to be sent directly. You may not appreciate this yet, but your ISP is doing "the right thing". If all ISP's did as yours did, a significant part of the Internet's spam problem would be solved. > I must say, I do not like relaying to their mail server. I would prefer > to send mail directly. Why do you feel that way? Are you aware that the spam problem has forced many to block _all_ mail coming from dynamic IP addresses - regardless of whether they've ever sent spam or not. Using your ISP's mail server (assuming they are as responsible as they sound) will result in fewer blocked messages for you. Rgds, Jay Moore
