[ale] Bellsouth SMTP Problems?

Mon Jun 30 14:03:46 EDT 2003

My solution to this, although it wouldn't work for everyone.  I have a client with a machine on a T1, with a static ip. I use ssh to tunnel to that box, and it relays my mail becuase it appears to come from a trusted address (127.0.0.1). Avoids bellsouth entirely.

Might be justification to change providers, if you have other options.
