G'day Bruce, > Zeta is said to be "over spam-rampant and hates us poor dynamic IP folks" :-). The fix, for the person trying to send the mail, is very easy ... simply use your real E-mail address in the "From" envelope header. My host doesn't care whether he uses a dynamic IP address. It cares only that a resolvable domain name is in the "From" envelope header. I make no apology for fighting spam. And I make no apology to people who inject E-mail containing bogus domain names onto the Net.
