RE: [cobalt-users] Pop before SMTP - I've had enough.

["Kai Deecke" <go@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I had no problem with this until today.

Customers complained that sending mail to optushome.com.au failed
and gave an error like: "Relaying denied. IP name lookup failed."

I saw that and thought it was because that mail server likes to
reverse lookup ip's. So I added a ptr record and set up the
in-arpa zone file etc. Restarted DNS. Then a DIFERENT error occured:

"Relaying Denied. IP name possibly forged."

Same as below. Oh well :) I've stuffed around with it for 4 hours.
Had 'nuff.

Ciao.
Kai

Just to throw my 2 pennys worth in.. i too get the same problems as
the revd Leonard.
*most* of the time (AFAIK)  its all working ok, then without any 
changes i start to get the relay denied errors.

I am changing my customers SMTP to match their dialup as and when 
they call me to complain.
Only about a hundred customers to get though :-(
