Re: sendmail question

Depending on your setup, if machines don't like mail coming from a dialup  
or dynamic ADSL connection I have set up sendmail to use my ISP as a smart  
relay. That way, mail comes from an authentic/well known provider. One  
more hop, but it should do the trick.

Hi,

I use sendmail to send automatic emails from servers to my mailbox, to  
get

information about disk status, etc. Now it seems as several mail  
providers

are stopping incoming mails from machines not registered as mail  
machines. Is

there a way to avoid this? I understand that this way of blocking is to

prevent spammers, but it is quite bothering if you want to use sendmail  
for

"fair" uses.

Thanks,
Luca
