shag> Find another ISP. I have no sympathy for you. You are choosing
shag> to stay with an ISP who is providing you with less service than
shag> you want (by not providing a reverse lookup). Choose with your
shag> dollars.
if you didn't sound so unpleasant i'd be more sympathetic to your premise.
however that aside i'll just observe that, like many people you're making
assumptions that work for you but might not where someone doesn't have a
(reasonable) choice.
shag> If there were a real need for people to send outbound email
shag> directly to their recipients, I'm sure we would offer such a
shag> service, and I'm sure we'd have a contract restricting use
shag> appropriately. The simple fact is that there is no such need,
shag> beyond people wanting to "play" with their mail setup. Oddly
shag> enough, these people who "play" whine that they can handle mail
shag> better than their ISP. This seems to be a contradiction in
shag> terms, and of course ignores the fact that we don't make our
shag> money selling services to people who want to "play" on the
shag> Internet.
i could say that you're whining over your technical inability to find a
solution less ham-fisted than the one you've chosen but it's apparent that
you can only see the world through holier-than-thou-isp tinted glasses.
it's a common problem that when you make hammers for a living every problem
starts to look like a nail.
sadly this has nothing to do with qmail other than i run it at home on my
dynamically ip'd dial-up machine.
