Re: evolution / SMTP not working: "we do not relay"
I had problems similar to this, and my answer from my ISP was that they and
many ISPs REQUIRE relaying through them (the ISP) SMTP server as opposed to my
Linux machine using its own SMTP to contact invididual mail servers with the
email I am sending out.
Interesting thing lately, is that now that I am hooked up to DSL and behind a
NAT router, the relay problems I use to have with using the same method are now
gone.
