I always send email directly from my IP address. AOL, for one. You may not think that's a bad thing... It depends a bit on which ISP you're using and what sort of services they provide. If you have a fixed IP address then you're more likely to get away with it (compared to using one of a pool of dynamic addresses, which may be used by random virus-infected Windows clients). Similarly, the more "business class" your service, the more likely they are to accept e-mail from you. See, for example, http://www.demon.net/helpdesk/networkstatus/serviceannouncements/announce27april.html Hope this helps, James. -- New address: james | "Never trust a species that grins all the time. @aprilcottage.co.uk | It's up to something." | -- Terry Pratchett, about dolphins
