The blocks/blacklists on dynamic IP's are entirely appropriate in this day and age. There is an industry accepted and promoted solution to your problem and that is to use your ISP's mail server as an outgoing mail relay. You can either use it via SMTP directly from your applications (i.e. SM) or as a smarthost for the mail server you are running. Every ISP I know of worth a grain of salt allows their customers to use the ISP's mail servers to send mail. That's why they are there. If you do that I'll be most if not all of your problems go away. If you are an @home customer, they are almost certainly allowing you to relay SMTP through them. If you're blocked because you're on a blacklist that they subscribe to then it's your fault for not doing your research before setting up your mail server. -- Marc ------------------------------------------------------- SF email is sponsored by - The IT Product Guide Read honest & candid reviews on hundreds of IT Products from real users.
