Nope, Patrick is right on this one. The ruleset that appears to be in effect is: "Anything from anywhere, even if it's from a hijacked box in Korea, can forward through our server as long as it has a '[email protected]' From: on it, but if one of our own customers tries to send through the server with a From: that says '[email protected]' they can't even if they pass an SMTP AUTH check and prove they're ISP.net's customer..." And that's borked and wrong. > > The solution presented here is not only not a solution, it is also a > > problem. > > Okay, then I suppose I don't understand the problem. How exactly do you > mean? See above - would you consider forwarding mail from outside ISP.net space without an SMTP AUTH check just because it claims to be 'From @ISP.net'? Attachment:
