I'll experiment.
One thing to check when you change how you send mail is your SPF record. I run the mail server for kepl.com.au and have set its SPF to: "v=spf1 ip4:122.107.147.136 ip4:203.214.67.43 ip4:192.168.0.0/16 -all" If your SPF is as strict as mine (and if it's not, please make it so, for the sake of the rest of the world!), you'll want to check it before you start sending mail directly from your own computer. Otherwise your mail _will_ be rejected as spam. ChrisA -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
