LL- we are not human rights advocates for spammers. all we are asking for is good reliable SMTP service to PAYING customers like me. why can't vsnl provide authenticated SMTP service to a paying customer like me? surely that can prevent spam to a large extent? they could even force change of passwds every fortnight if they like. i have taken up this issue with them several times, with their tech support making sympathetic noises, but nothing happens. what's relatively recent is the ban on non-vsnl FROM: headers and submission to DUL.

Almost completely unusable, for those who dont > know anything about non-webmail mail, or direct-to-mx. vsnl does not care for customers running linux boxes. most of the non linux user customers are happy with webmail, and probably never heard of direct-to-mx. since it looks like all the Indian ISP's are putting restrictions - this needs to be taken up in some other consumer forum - but where? ajit. _______________________________________________ ilugd mailinglist -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://frodo.hserus.net/mailman/listinfo/ilugd Archives at: http://news.gmane.org/gmane.user-groups.linux.delhi http://www.mail-archive.com/[EMAIL PROTECTED]/
