O.k. Though I now don't understand this any more. I run my own Postfix mail server for a largish outfit (high school) in Amsterdam. I've built it so that any pupil, teacher, whoever I authorize who SASL authenticates may relay through my server. I could do this on an IP or cidr-range base, but I've chosen SASL auth, since that's less hassle and I have greater control. It doesn't matter if he/she has a residential dynamically-assigned IP or not. Mail to Hotmail, Yahoo, MSN, Outblaze, wherever, gets accepted by them, since my server is the last hop. I also do my own RBL, cidr and greylisting checks on incoming mail and all that counts is the IP of the connecting client. I don't go zooming through the Received from: headers to see if there's a dynamic IP, a private class IP or anything else to refuse on, it's purely the connecting/client IP that counts. The normal way for ISPs issuing dynamically assigned IP numbers to facilitate smtp mail is to have the client relay through their MTAs. In your case, that's Optonline, which should be "clean". There must be something else going on here, as others have pointed out. Maybe Optonline's considered as "tainted" by the Hotmail etc. crowd? --Tonni -- �Livet er ein gamp�, sa �yken.
