Hi! Well, I don't know what are you doing, but I'm able to send mail to gmail accounts with no problem at all (from my house's test server, which is on a DSL line (dynamic IP), by the way, and have a "dyndns" domain). I think you should send more info on your config, for example: MX record for y

That's a great idea assuming you want to be on every known RBL when you return. The "from" and "sender" addresses on almost all spam is forged, so you'll be spamming them all with "Sorry, we're not here right now . . .". Most won't appreciate it. Terry Christian Desrochers wrote: Hi all,
