Small world :) All your ISPs IP's are listed with DUL (Dialup User's List). Anyone subscribing to this, will reject your mail. There is only one way to defeat this, and that is to relay through somebody that is not on the list. This can be done on a per domain basis. IIRC, in sendmail it is /etc/mail/mailertable. I have a similar situation, and I just relay through my ISP only where needed. This is my accrued list: .rr.com smtp:[mail.bellsouth.net] rr.com smtp:[mail.bellsouth.net] .aol.com smtp:[mail.bellsouth.net] mediaone.net smtp:[mail.bellsouth.net] .sourceforge.net smtp:[mail.bellsouth.net] pobox.com smtp:[mail.bellsouth.net] foobox.net smtp:[mail.bellsouth.net] onepost.net smtp:[mail.bellsouth.net] uswest.net smtp:[mail.bellsouth.net] earthlink.net smtp:[mail.bellsouth.net] mindspring.com smtp:[mail.bellsouth.net] adelphia.net smtp:[mail.bellsouth.net] verizon.net smtp:[mail.bellsouth.net] comcast.net smtp:[mail.bellsouth.net] kscable.com smtp:[mail.bellsouth.net] mmcable.com smtp:[mail.bellsouth.net] logantele.com smtp:[mail.bellsouth.net] eastlink.ca smtp:[mail.bellsouth.net] cableatlantic.nf.ca smtp:[mail.bellsouth.net] ptd.net smtp:[mail.bellsouth.net] lists.sourceforge.net smtp:[mail.bellsouth.net] users.sourceforge.net smtp:[mail.bellsouth.net] users.sf.net smtp:[mail.bellsouth.net] .sf.net smtp:[mail.bellsouth.net] There is a bit of a redundancy there as I am not 100% sure of syntax. Then build the db with: makemap hash /etc/mail/mailertable.db < /etc/mail/mailertable And probably restart sendmail (I am using postfix now, so don't recall what sendmail requires to re-read this). I don't think there is a better solution, to be honest. Good luck. -- Hal Burgiss _______________________________________________ Redhat-list mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
