I guess you must be talking about reverse delegations, since forward delegations for authority for DNS servers is based on the domain registration. My suggestion would be to select one of: o Get a forwarding account that uses SMTP AUTH for outbound mail relay by paying someone else for the service o Convince your ISP to do the delegation o Relay all your outbound email through your ISP's SMTP server that's there for normal relay for their normal clients -- Terry To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-chat" in the body of the message
