Re: (OT) ISP's that don't allow relaying



I have a E-mail only acount on Netvision, and as you can see i'm sending 
E-mail trough their SMTP server.
Netvision's relay-blocking scheme is to check the "Reply-to" field for a 
netvision address, so you can send
from whatever IP you have as long as you put an @ netvision.net.il adress 
in the replay (like i'm doing now from Internet Zahav).
If I try sending under a deferent "persona" the relay-blocking script 
blocks me.
