So, having still not heard back from him(!!), It doesn't match the subject anymore, but I hate mutt for not syncing my mailboxes with the output from my $display_filter. I look at your mail within mutt and see nothing special; so I reply and suddenly see multiple exclamation marks (which were shortened to 1 by $display_filter)... ;-) (just a side note) > Unfortunately, if he is at a low-ball ISP that cuts services *and* that > ISP happens to be on the DUL, then he probably has no option but to > switch ISPs, since that's probably as cost-effective as finding someone > who will let him relay. Yes and no. Some freemail providers also offer POP-before-SMTP which means that he has to find out how long his IP is cached. For example, if this time limit is 15 minutes, just set up a cron job which runs fetchmail every 10 minutes and point postfix (or whatever) to the freemail provider's relay. It will then always work if the internet connection works. > Sometimes not even "low"; not only does Juno, for instance, not provide a > relay, but neither does AOL (but we probably wouldn't want them to! :-) I don't know any providers over at your location which doesn't matter. But AOL users may send mail, too with the access software (which is probably not pppd ;-) so I guess that there's no need for a relay since dial-up users may be authenticated by their line (and thus do not need any special account). Cheers, Rocco.
