I signed up with thepostoffice, a very stupid thing to do, and their systems refused to handle anything not using ***@mypostoffice.com (probably fair enough really), but they also refused anything I sent using the SMTP server setup by my domain name host. I tried to get out of the contract by claiming it was not fit for purpose, but they said their T&C's ruled out business use and own domain name = business use. After much much argument and several shifts up the chain of command I got a manager who told me, on sort of semi confidential basis, that he could let me have a mail server address that "would make it look as if the mail had come from my own address". He then gave me an IP address, which works fine. It turns out to belong to BT (thepostoffice is rebadged BT) and its' "role" (as in a whois request) is MANAGED BROADBAND OPERATIONAL SUPPORT. So is this a server used for testing by BT engineers or something...? Simon > > -- > > Henny Youngman - "I told the doctor I broke my leg in two places.
