Send mail via cron job with an overly-protective ISP
Authored by: pwestbro on Mar 12, '07 01:14:26PM

This will not work in all cases. Where the isp is blocking all outgoing traffic on port 25, changing the sender will not solve the problem.

Most likely, these isp also offer their own smtp relay to send mail. All you will need to to is configure Sendmail or Postfix to send all outgoing mail through that relay.

Yeah, you are correct, you can use a setting for postfix as so:

fallback_relay="isp_smtp.name.here"

This will not however for in the instance above as the mail command does not use postfix, i dont think?
