If I receive list mail on the hylton@conacher address, I cannot reply to it from the conacher address bucause my ISP will not route the mail as they autheniticate the sender ie the sender hylton@conacher is not the email address of the connected member on their network and they therefore drop the mail into the ether.
Hylton, I see you posted from a global.co.za address - they are much cheaper than most saix reseller ISPs - if they give you this sort of crap, dump them and go somewhere else. They *should* authenticate you based on your network address. i.e. if you're inside your ISPs network, you should be able to send from any address you please. They're a big company and I'm sure they have many small businesses as clients who have their own domain. Failing that they should provide you with smtp authentication. But I still say, considering what we have available here, dump them and go somewhere else. I'd be happy to point you in the right direction. Hans
