On the other hand, when I had a business account my ISP setup a reverse lookup for my MX record. This solved my problem with AOL some 4 years ago. Finding an ISP to do that for you might prove difficult. Even my ISP eventually moved DNS support to their ISP. Luckily, they never removed my reverse record. Unfortunately, I no longer have that account. <<JAV>> ---------- Original Message ----------- From: "Mr. Adam ALLEN" <adam@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> To: shrike-list@xxxxxxxxxx Sent: 23 Jun 2003 23:38:43 +0100 Subject: sendmail redirecting mail to aol.com/rr.com/isps blocking dynamic ip's > I've done quite a bit of searching and reading but haven't found an > answer yet. > > AOL.com and RoadRunner block incoming mail from IP's that belong to > residential customers- my ISP's server is a bit flaky at times. > > I want to instruct sendmail (can be convinced to use postfix easily), > to forward mail for specific domains to the ISP's SMTP server, and all > other mail through my own sendmail. > > I've only found smarthost and mailhub options so far which aren't quite > what I want (don't want all external mail to go via the ISP). > > My only solution in mind is to play about with BIND so that MX > queries for AOL.com are answered with my ISP's MX - and see if that > solves the problem.
