I know. I hate that. My old isp did the old "check your pop account to validate your IP for 10 minutes." I can understand a non-isp doing this (although auth exists as an smtp extension) but shouldn't an isp know what ip numbers it owns? Things like that drive me nuts... I guess maybe it is possible to steal IP numbers? but I don't know anything about that... > > What happens if you send mail from Spruce through your own mail server. It still does not work.
