Li, Like I said, I fully understand why you are using the blacklists at
osirusoft, but I'm stuck between a rock and a hardplace.  The IP is a
dynamic IP given to me by Pipex and could (potentially) change every day
when the connection drops.  Short of me shelving out my hard earned cash
for
an SMTP provider who isn't registered with osirusoft, there is no solution
I
can think of (but I'm happy to try things out if someone knows better).  I
will contact osirusoft to see what I can do, but having a dynamic IP will
work against me.
