Most places I've been, you have a choice, at least with DSL, of who your ISP
is. You may well not have a choice of who your CLEC is - that's a different
issue. And given what I've seen in the last couple of days with a Verizon
account (not mine, thank goodness), they'd be so far down the list we'd be
discussing hot places freezing over. Comcast I at least have a decent
contact with and have a chance of bypassing the problem layers.

When I was still in the states, I used MegaPath. I had 4 different CLECs
over the years, but kept the same ISP (actually started with them on ISDN
when that was the only choice.) I never had problems that they didn't bust
their butts to resolve, even when it was external to their network.

I Agree I prefer to use DNS to send mail,

But Even having problems sending mail to AOL who blocks mail from "Lists
of IPs"
That are Issued out by Comcast and Verizon...

Sometimes Comcast or Verizon is all a client is able to get around here.
Sometimes They won't even issue a Business IP (Some stupid thing about
Service Area?)
Eschelon and others doesn't service all areas. :(

Well, with ISPs like Comcast (a _consumer ISP_, not a business ISP), that
may be true. OTOH, if you have a business account and you run your own
SMTP server, to then have it "bounce" off of anyone else's automatically
puts your email in the questionable range.

If your DNS is set up correctly, and you're not an open relay, you
shouldn't be black listed. All that being said, if you're running from a
dynamic IP address on a consumer grade ISP such as Comcast, you may not
have a choice. I still think it's wrong. :)

Charlie, Actually I've had the reverse, the clients IP got black listed.
Trying to get an IP unblacklisted is near impossible.
(Well not, but it's a lot of Billable Hours)

If The ISP get's blacklisted (Which has happened to a client of mine.)
it's easier for them to work out to get Unlisted.

Also if your ISP is "Comcast", and your sending email to a "Comcast"
person. You have to use Smarthost. Or I've been told by a Comcast Suppor
Rep. (The Comcast Rep told me they don't accept mail servers sending
mail from Comcast IPs)
If someone knows this is wrong please email me..
(Because I really didn't think Comcast was smart enough to do this.)
Laugh.

Russ - these days, using smarthost may be a bad idea. I definitely
prefer
DNS. Yes, it can be a bit tricky to get the DNS right (well, not that
hard), but it at least doesn't show being bounced off of someone's
server
in the mix. And if your ISP get's blacklisted, your out of luck if
you're
using smarthost.

Sorry If I'm confused because some people use the same terms to say
different things.

So you try to send email and it doesn't get sent?
(if so Please post error message.)

If it's Sending, you may have to send Via SmartHost (Sending through
your ISP)
Running CEICW and instead of Sending DNS send through your ISP
(SMTP.YOURISP.NET) or what ever it is.

Or is it not being recieved?

Note:
(You don't have your MX Records changes so I assume you are using the
POP connector in SBS to grab mail for your domain.)

More details on what you mean by Delivered.
(Again sorry for this question, because I've had people say Delivered
when
they mean sent, and or recieved.)
