Steve, August 17-18, 2003, there were four postings (see below) to the list between Randy Gibson and Anil concerning routing Sambar e-mail to AOL (this was about a week prior to your August 26 posting concerning the same AOL issue). Randy suggested that the Global Routing Rules could handle AOL-bound e-mail via an ISP's SMTP server while leaving the rest of the e-mail to be handled by Sambar's MTA, but he could not figure out how to make the routing rules accomplish this. I did not see a subsequent posting with a definitive answer and/or details.

However, let me once again ask anyone who may know how to set up some ROUTING RULES in Sambar to divert aol destined messages to an isp while using MTA for everything else. By the way, I have a static IP with Charter Pipeline. Unfortunately, they don't support reverse DNS. When I requested a static IP, all they did is lock down the dynamic IP I was on at the time....so it looks like I'm doomed to remain in the residential IP range. But, someone in a past forum mentioned that ROUTING RULES can resolve the problem. Right now I disabled MTA and am using my ISP for mail delivery. While there are no problems with this setup, it seems a bit lame for a computer fanatic like me.

If you do have it, then use the relay feature using your isp username and password, That is the second best alternative that i can suggest. You still have some control over your smtp server. anil -----Original Message----- From: rgibson [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Sunday, August 17, 2003 08:41 PM To: sambar List Member Subject: [sambar] I need help Routing Outgoing SAMBAR Mail to AOL Anil, I tried the Relay's already. to no avail. also I have a Dynamic IP so my ISP will NOT setup Reverse DNS for me. so I'm stuck with using Global Routing Rules, but I can't figure out how Randy -----Original Message----- From: anil [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Sunday, August 17, 2003 08:12 PM To: sambar List Member Subject: [sambar] I need help Routing Outgoing SAMBAR Mail to AOL try using one of its relay's. Many spammers use it to relay their spam to aol users, using my domain name and a false email address as the return address. Their relays are hopeless, so i have blocked all mail that has travelled through some particular "relays" Alternatively, ask your IP PROVIDER to set up a reverse dns address! That should be pretty easy for them, or IF they have given you control to do it yourself, then Just add that entry in your dns server. anil -----Original Message----- From: rgibson [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Sunday, August 17, 2003 07:01 PM To: sambar List Member Subject: [sambar] I need help Routing Outgoing SAMBAR Mail to AOL AOL will no longer take mail from an IP without Reverse DNS setup. which I don't have.. :cry: I want ALL outgoing mail to use the buildin MTA unless it's destination is AOL.COM, then I need to use my ISP's SMTP I look at the routing rules, but they did'nt seem to do what I need How do I do this.
