Hi all, I have a few list members on one of my lists whose messages bounce back with an error similar to "Relaying not allowed". I just got a message from one who claims that he's not getting the list mail but individual mail comes through ok. My question is, exactly what is relaying? I know that disallowing it is an anti-spam measure, but I also know that other systems have restricted their SMTP ports without blocking LISTSERV mail, as they might bounce back with "Relaying not allowed" for a day or two, then it stops. Does this problem have to do with LISTSERV's "distribute" feature where our system is not directly connecting to the SMTP port of every list member, but some other system (the distribution point) is? Why would this matter? Is there a way I can tell the people at these systems how to restrict "relaying" without killing LISTSERV mail too? Thanks. >>> Dave Hardy Internet: [log in to unmask] DISCUS-L owner (Discus fish) Stripes owner (Angelfish) CASTRECL co-owner (Musical Theatre cast recordings)
