A couple of things:

1. If you're using the on-rev smtp server to send emails, STOP THAT right now. Configure your email client to send email using the smtp server of your isp. You don't need to change the pop server, just the outgoing one.

2. See point #1.

Mark,

why? what's wrong with sending email from on-rev (or any other hosting provider) ?

Intuitively, that seems like the right way to do it - my email claims to come from "a...@tweedly.net" - surely it's a good thing that it originates on the machine that DNS resolves for 'tweedly.net'. In fact, if I send that email instead from my DSL provider then doesn't it become indistinguishable from any spammer's email which has my email address in the 'from' line, but comes from a machine with no connection to 'tweedly.net' ?

And, practically, how do I do that ? Most days I use 3 different ISPs (home, office, neighbour's) - would I need to reconfig my email client each time ?

(or, to put it another way - what am I missing ? :-)

Thanks
Alex.
