My ISP is Adelphia Cable Internet. Their tech folks are incompetent, and their tech support is useless. Their mail servers are broken and therefore any mail to @freebsd.org bounces. If you look at my headers, you'll see that I configured my box to be its own mail relay and I'm able to send to the FreeBSD lists (yippie!). However, it's still a DHCP addy and there's no way of hiding that. Thus, my emails are getting rejected by a lot of other people ... most recently, I'm finding that RoadRunner's entire SMTP system rejects me. I am NOT paying for a static IP. I don't need it, I have no need or desire to run any servers on this box - I wouldn't even bother to run my own mail relay if Adelphia would fix theirs so I could use it. When I try to talk to them, I get anything from "reinstall Windows" to flat-out ignored. Does anyone have any suggestion on how I can get them to fix their worthless shit? I've tried being nice. I've tried being an asshole. I have nothing to threaten with, as there are no other high-speed providers in this area. -- Bill Moran Potential Technologies http://www.potentialtech.com
