Yes, they do that. > > How can I fix that ? A few choices... - Don't use a relayhost, deliver mail directly. This requires you have a static IP address with proper FCrDNS entries, which will require cooperation from your ISP and may cost some extra, depending on your current service agreement. - If you only have a handful of addresses, you can sign up for a free google apps account with your own domain name. That will allow you to relay through google. You are not required to use google as your MX; you can continue to use your own server. If you have too many for the free service, you might consider paying. - Use some third-party relayhost service, such as dyndns. This will not be free, but shouldn't cost very much. If you have more than a couple dozen email addresses, this will be cheaper than a google apps account. -- Noel Jones
