Do I need to use my Rogers Smtp? > Note that Rogers requires you to login before accepting any e-mail. Is your SMTP service configured to handle this? Also, I stopped using my server at home as a SMTP relay after I found out that many sites (ISP's and companies), just drop messages relayed via a dynamic IP address, as the one you get from Rogers. I guess they assume that they are SPAM. So, even if you get to pass messages on to Rogers I bet that at one point or another you will hit this second problem and there's nothing you can do about it. -- Pedro
