You could use an MTA on one of the higher levels as a relay--if
they'll let you and they have better connectivity.

I wanted to say thank you to everytone that helped,  amazingly enough I
was able to solve the problem by installing the dns patch, and using my
isp as a relay.

maillog error sending mail to @yahoo,aol,etc. *slightly OT*

[Bennett]

Bit of a strange question.   my qmail server is running fine any dandy as
long as I only send mail to 85% of the internet  whenever I try to
send mail to someone at yahoo,aol,bigfoot, and a few others it will just
sit in the queue trying and trying  with the error message that the
connection died.  OCCASIONALLY it will actually send the message, but that
is rather rare.

For now I just telnet into my iquest shell account and send mail to those
addresses that way, but needless to say it's a wee bit annoying.
