#_ Anyway ... first thing to go kaput was the SMTP relaying. I-Manila had their
#_ SMTP relaying set up really nice. The SMTP server is very strict when you're
#_ coming from outside the network, but from inside you can basically masquerade
#_ as anyone you want to be. What's neat about this? I-Manila's got your caller
#_ ID and has this matched in the logs by time to your IP address (or so I hope),
#_ and the message has an IP stamp. So people who spam by connecting to I-Manila
#_ can get caught (or so I hope, again). However, people with good intentions like
#_ me, who have virtual domains, can use the ISP's SMTP to send mail from say ...
#_ leather-collection.com. Unfortunately, Pacific's doesn't have this set up. So
#_ my poor dial-up box has to negotiate the rough waters of SMTP transfers to down
#_ servers on its own. !@)(*%)(*&@!# (oops, sorry).
Try doing an nslookup of mail.pacific.net (or whatever their smtp server is
called) and use the ip instead of the name; ex.
relay_host=123.456.789.012:25 instead of relay_host=mail.paciffic.net. (btw,
I'm using postfix example here)
just a suggestion, this worked for me, but my problem was totally different
at another isp.
