I think that the anwser to your problem is to have exim send the mail through your isp Exim calls it satellite email, I think. Jayson Garrell -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list

To enforce this they stop certain forms of traffic, email and http on port 1080. Pretty standard problem as far as I know. They don't stop http on other ports, and they don't stop ftp or ssh.

Re: [gentoo-user] ISPs blocking email from my linux box
Let me guess, the ISP is AOL ??? You might want to try and find a forwarding/relaying server to send your mail thru that has a static ip. I have seen this even on boxes that have static ip's.

I guess they are attempting to block spam. This is getting more and more common. It used to be called the MAPS DUL (Dial Up List) and ISP's would block mail from machines that were in those lsits. Has anyone else run into this? How are you getting around it? Yes, I've noticed that AOL and Earthlink were either talking about doing it, or are doing in. When I heard they were talking about it I configured sendmail to allow me to get around the problem. I still wanted sendmail to be able to send directly to servers that I was sending too and not go through the Road Runner Mail servers (They can be overloaded at times and I get faster e-mail service to use my own outgoing server), while sending messages to those 2 domains through the roadrunner servers transparently. In Sendmail this was an easy configuration: First I made sure my sendmail.mc file had the following: FEATURE(`mailertable', `hash /etc/mail/mailertable')dnl to enable the mailertable in sendmail. Then I created a /etc/mail/mailertable file with the following 2 lines: aol.com smtp:mail.rochester.rr.com earthlink.com smtp:mail.rochester.rr.com (You would of course use your ISP's mail server after the smtp:) Now you create the mailertable database: makemap hash mailertable mailertable Then recreate your /etc/mail/sendmail.cf file from the mc file: m4 /etc/mail/sendmail.mc /etc/mail/sendmail.cf then restart sendmail and any messages going to aol.com or earthlink.com will now go through your ISP mail server, while any other messages will go directly to their destination.
