Pretty sure that they're not rejected because of that. We are currently on
dialup ISDN and are using the BT SMTP server as a smarthost until we get
onto an ISP that offers static IP.
Having said that, the logs from last night say:
Checking for rejected mail hosts:
1 vip-room.com
1 subdimension.com
1 aol.com
...and one from the other day:
1 usermail.com
Unless someone is portscanning IP addresses belonging to BT and finding
addresses with port 25 opened up....? I think I've locked down the server
to not relay messages.
