So it can happen... The issue behind this was that unknowing computer users were allowing their systsms to be used as open relays et. al. I'm not sure how they determine if an IP is an assigned dynamic address issued by some ISP, like Charter or Comcast, but they should not simply reject a static IP assigned by an ISP. Sometimes AOL will post a URL in the email log file. I do agree with Rajiv that you should file a support ticket. I know a lot of people who have or had Speakeasy. --=20 Jerry Feldman <gaf-mNDKBlG2WHs at public.gmane.org> Boston Linux and Unix PGP key id: 537C5846 PGP Key fingerprint: 3D1B 8377 A3C0 A5F2 ECBB CA3B 4607 4319 537C 5846
