Must have been around Dec-2006. Webserver is already down. As is the RBL relays.ordb.org. Rest (like blackholes.ordb.org, dialup.ordb.org) is still responding (but for how long and is the content still valid). Replacement RBLs could be bl.spamcop.net list.dsbl.org multihop.dsbl.org sbl-xbl.spamhaus.org ...

MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Content-Type: text/plain; charset="iso-8859-1" Greetings! I suspect this has a simple answer, but I have never needed to do this until now and have not figured out how to to it yet... :( I have a server (old VAX with MX v5.4 running OpenVMS v6.2) that is at a site that no longer allows outbound port 25 connections. So my MX system can no longer make direct connections to the IP addresses it wants to use to deliver outbound messages. As I understand it, they are blocking my system from talking to any IP address on port 25. They have given me an IP address to use as a RELAY. How would I go about changing the config of MX to send all outbound e-mail to this server instead of directly to the recipient? If it matters, it is only necessary to SEND outbound SMTP e-mail. We can live with not being able to accept inbound messages on this server. Thanks and sorry if this is a FAQ-type question. I have not found any "relay" info in the Installation or Management guides.

I believe you want two statements like this: DEFINE PATH "*" SMTP/route=3D"yourrouter" SET SMTP/DEFAULT_ROUTER=3D"yourrouter" --=20 Brian Tillman =20 ************************************************ The information contained in, or attached to, this e-mail, may contain= confidential information and is intended solely for the use of the= individual or entity to whom they are addressed and may be subject to= legal privilege.

I applied that and just got a message through the firewall for the first time in weeks! Thanks! Rick -- Richard L.
