RE: [SLUG] Telstra relaying

That's right.
They're not allowing anybody to use they're email server as a mail relay for
the reason of spamming..
I'm surprised they have taken so long to do this.

My box at home sends mail in a different fashion. I actually mimic another
mail server which really is my POP server and send out as that.
So if your receiving email address is pvogel@nospam.realdomain.com then make your
mail server send out as if it was that email server.

This may end up having problems with some other servers as they check the IP
address your connection from and may complain that your servers IP doesn't
match the mail server your coming from.

Yet, I havn't gotten this problem as yet. People may disagree also to this
setup but it works for me so I'm sticking with it until I end up with
another problem... which I haven't.

Subject: [SLUG] Telstra relaying


To overcome an intractable problem getting my server talk to one
particular other server (hermes.net.au), I have configured sendmail to
use postoffice.telstra.net to relay mail to that server.

That worked fine for months, then yesterday I started getting this back:

... while talking to postoffice.telstra.net:
>>> RCPT To:<rhub@nospam.hermes.net.au>
<<< 550 <rhub@nospam.hermes.net.au>... Relaying denied


Does this mean Telstra is no longer relaying?  Does anyone have any
suggestions about how I can resolve this?

Thanks

Peter
