>From information in your other post, yes it is not necessary to do the above. Looks like the problem is with your SMTP server (smart host) on the 'Net. As Dinesh Shah has pointed out, I hope you have SMTP AUTH setup at your server (userid/password required for out going email). Depending upon the kind of hosting service you have you can: a) Shared Hosting - go to your CPanel and set a lower number for your spamassasin, b) Dedicated server - contact your server Sys Admin. > Also it may create a problem when it sits behind a corporate firewall.

Moot point for your scenario but FYI most dyn dns clients update to the WAN IP of the Proxy/Gateway. -- Arun Khan -- http://mm.glug-bom.org/mailman/listinfo/linuxers
