Be aware that if you choose this option (which helps a lot, especially if your ISP's mail server is a dog), you may need to configure it to forward via your ISP's MX. Many providers are blocking outgoing 25 to any destinations except their own mail servers. I think this is a wise move, but it's a bit of an inconvenience for savvy home users who'd like to handle SMTP themselves. Even with this restriction, though, your clients won't know the difference. Your own box will absorb the delivery delay, which is the whole point. - -d - -- David Talkington PGP key: http://www.prairienet.org/~dtalk/0xCA4C11AD.pgp -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: PGP 6.5.8 Comment: Made with pgp4pine 1.75-6 iQA/AwUBPJI8BL9BpdPKTBGtEQI1QACeJqUGbZ0Ke8P/UE+jAxxm+YsskGEAoIu/ LBpqqNefpVaBcf8Wf/PkPe8n =VQ+p -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- _______________________________________________ Redhat-list mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
