I think a number of ISP's are getting that way; they want to control spam. What I now do is use the Smart_host option in M4 macros for sendmail. That will cause sendmail to forward all your mail through the designated relay host. This is obviously the outgoing side I'm talking about here. -----Original Message----- From: Raul A.

It turns out that my dsl isp does not allow any port 25 connections unless they are passing through their own mail servers. After playing around with things and being able to connect to smtp on multiple sites when on any connection except my dsl one I called tech support and that is what they told me. Raul A.
