I use Exim as my MTA. I use my laptop on a number of different networks and via ppp.
When I send mail via ppp I sometimes find that my mail is bounced as the mail is being sent directly through my machine (i.e. the source ip address resolves against ppp-xxx.3com.telinco.net). I have a standard exim setup, except that I use smtp auth to (I thought!) always send mail through my isp. Thanks for any help.
