I'm being forced to use my upstream ISP smtp server for outgoing mail because of the RBL arbitrary report. The reason I started using my own mail server is the abismally bad service from my cable provider. His down time, during prime time (late afternoon and early evening) runs about 15% averaged over a month. Now that I'm forced to use their upstream server, I'm losing about 10% of my outgoing mail. mw - -- Registered Linux - 256979 NRA Life ARS: W0TMW -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.0.7 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQE+pfON5fq6h2uDDlQRAhRoAJ9YabNQ4LoDpqe8j79xvYdIyQmC8gCfbK3I bYHM/z7F3DnLn5aH7z7RR70= =4L20 -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content by F-Prot and MailScanner, and is believed to be clean. -- Psyche-list mailing list Psyche-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/psyche-list
