Hello, from the yahoo/spam-o-rama thread: "You should always send outgoing mail through your ISP's smarthost, or some other similar machine."
Well I've done so on the machine that serves as my internet gateway and faxserver and so on, and found out that I don't seem to be able to send mail to anyone else but myself. Not that I'd have tried too often -- that's not the box I usually send mail from, even less after I had the first few coming back to me. What I get is this: > A message that you sent could not be delivered to one or more of its > recipients. This is a permanent error. The following address(es) > failed: > > [EMAIL PROTECTED] > SMTP error from remote mailer after RCPT > TO:<[EMAIL PROTECTED]>: > host ravintalo.eduart.de [62.146.48.62]: 554 > <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>: > Relay access denied I always understood it so that many machines wouldn't accept relayed mail, perhaps as a means of spam protection. Or does it mean that ravintalo.eduart.de won't even accept mail to be relayed? What's going on here, and can I do something about it (other than SMTPing directly from evolution, as I do now)? cu, Schnobs -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
