Not referring to Comcast, but for Rogers which is also blacklisted by a lot of people: their "smart" host likes to delay or randomly drop outbound mail making it useless for reliable email delivery, and they require you to send mail from a rogers.com address, which means you can't use personal domains (like this one). Kris ----------- reply separator ------------- Actually, what you say is not true for Rogers. I've been sending mail directly out of my Rogers-hosted machine for almost a year now, without going through their "smart" hosts. This was one of the reasons I switched to Rogers from Sympatico -- Sympatico locked down port 25 which forced me to use their crappy mail servers, and I was easily losing 50% of my mail. -- Matt Emmerton
