AOL was the first that I encountered to do this; over the
summer, they started blocking all e-mail originating from Cox IP
addresses. Not long thereafter, Cox blocked all outbound SMTP except to
their own mailserver, so I had to go to relaying everything.
If you want to keep SMTPing directly except to the domains causing you
problems, add something like this to your exim.conf (under ROUTERS
CONFIGURATION):
# For AOL...
aol:
driver = domainlist
domains = aol.com
transport = remote_smtp
route_list = * smtp.west.cox.net
You will need to set this up for each obnoxious mail domain. Or, you can give
up entirely and relay everything, like I was forced to do. Then add something
like this as the very first entry in the section:
coxsucks:
driver = domainlist
transport = remote_smtp
route_list = * smtp.west.cox.net
Not no `domains' is specified -- this relays everything via smtp.west.cox.net.
Obviously, you would put your own provider's SMTP server there...
If your provider's SMTP servers work efficiently, the only real thing
you lose is that you can't check your logs to verify delivery of a
message, only to know that it made it off your box and to the ISP's STMP
server.
