Hi Allan, =20 > Needless to say, you need good systems administration skills=20 > to submit new ports to GNATS if you have a dynamic IP on your=20 > development box. Not really. All you need is a smart-host that is setup correctly. Usually your ISP should operate one for you. If that smart-host does not work with GNATS, change the ISP because he does not know what he is doing. :-) And setting up a smart-host is not that difficult. Even with sendmail... :-) Simply look at the .mc file. Google gives something like define(`SMART_HOST', `your.isps.smtp.server') to put in the .mc. Then run make and there you go. That's not too hard, is it? BTW: Personally I think using a smart-host makes a lot of sense if you have a dynamic IP since many MTAs block dial-up IPs or connections from IPs without reverse-mapping. I think that this is too restrictive but nevertheless some admins tend to be that restrictive... > Yes. That's how I messed up the second submission out of=20 > three.
