Re: [cobalt-users] Relay Denied

["Joe Duffus" <JoeDuffus@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Earthlink now blocks network access to port 25 to any mail server but their
own, so you cannot relay to your RaQ mail server through an Earthlink dialup
connection. They're doing this as an anti-spam measure. I found this out
when I suddenly couldn't relay through my RaQ2. Setting the Earthlink SMTP
server works for me, but I wonder if there are mail servers out there that
will reject mail I send because the relay server was not the same as the
addressing server?
