Many servers won't accept it anyway. J. K. is setting up his postfix to relay mail via his ISP. This isn't much different a setup than a Mutt user would have or a Windows user might have where their antivirus software installs itself as an intermediary between the mail client and the real SMTP server. His mail should go out via his ISP, pretty much like it would if he sent it directly via a client like Thunderbird. How's that "direct-to-mx from a dynamic IPA"? - -- Todd OpenPGP -> KeyID: 0xD654075A | URL: www.pobox.com/~tmz/pgp ====================================================================== If everything seems to be going well, you have obviously overlooked something. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.3 (GNU/Linux) Comment: When crypto is outlawed bayl bhgynjf jvyy unir cevinpl. iG0EARECAC0FAkQ6sxUmGGh0dHA6Ly93d3cucG9ib3guY29tL350bXovcGdwL3Rt ei5hc2MACgkQuv+09NZUB1oPWgCfbi8gety/v2vrMnx7pgKzGIOw/wEAoP54v+Y1 UVy1pB/FP5SIbc7jre1U =SFbx -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
