Re: Re: Sending Emails

[Armando <dijital@xxxxxxx>]

Yes you can do it but you have to remember that some people on certain 
ISPs may not ever receive email from you. For instance, my IP address is 
listed on the mail abuse DUL list (actually my whole subnet is, and most 
other Shaw subnets are as well). Because of that DUL list no AOL user 
will ever get an email that is sent from my home server.

You can check if your IP address may be on a mail abuse black list by 
going here: http://www.mail-abuse.com/lookup.html.

This is actually funny because DUL stands for Dial Up List to prevent 
dynamic dialup users from spamming, but I'm on a cable modem service. I 
guess it's the principle though. You really never know which ISPs filter 
email based on DUL lists and whatnot until people start complaining that 
they aren't getting their automatically generated emails from your 
website. It's a real pain in the a$$ :) Cheers.
