Your reasoning sounds good to me - but when tranferring email to his ISP the header sequence gets written with "His" ISP's IP in the chain. The combination of his IP and His ISP's SMTP relay IP may be what makes the header get thru the filters as a "valid source", or the combo of his IP and his ISP's mail domain may be what does it. The combination of his dynamic IP and and any other SMTP relay is clearly setting off alarms. Other than that, I dunno. :) Whats the IP address of your SMTP server ? Is it in any of the blocklists? You can check here: http://openrbl.org/ Also try his IP address there to see who is blocking it. > > RDB > -- > Reuben D.
