[DH] That's your prerogative, but it sounds a little backwards to me. My responsibility is to make sure as much of my users' mail is delivered as possible. What do you think will happen if I tell my users that they just can't send email to Yahoo because I don't want to jump through Yahoo's hoops? Or that their emails to Yahoo will generally be delayed hours or days because I don't want to write a couple of emails or fill out a couple of forms? They'll go with someone that CAN send mail to Yahoo, because it is ridiculous to not be able to send email to one of the largest email providers in the world. I provide my users with a stable, reliable mail service, and part of that is ensuring their mail can be delivered when possible. I understand that sometimes it isn't possible because the mail servers are broken, but Yahoo's servers aren't broken, they are just strict. Your mail will go through eventually, but it will back up in your queue until that time. And with very little effort on your part, you can get whitelisted so that all your mail goes through immediately. At least a couple of times per year, some large mail provider makes me jump through their hoops to get my users' mail to them (bellsouth/at&t after the merger was a nightmare), but you know what? I jump every time because that is what my users are paying me for. Dan Horne TAIS Director of Operations www.taisweb.net [EMAIL PROTECTED] 828.252.TAIS (8247)
