[Fwd: ezmlm warning]

[Mark Street]

Looks like 65.214.144.4 does not want to relay mail to you.  I see that 
bcoole.com. has address 65.214.145.145

The qmail mailserver on your ISP's end is the culprit.  It should relay 
mail for your domain if they have it setup correctly.  A peek at 
/var/qmail/control/rcpthosts and some of the other control files for qmail 
to allow selective relaying.  Do a search on the net for selective relaying 
with qmail.

We run qmail through tcpserver by djb on gracie at the JC for selective 
relaying and it works peachy, note: we run both ezmlm and mailman listserves.
