Hi Oliver,

I allow IP blocks that we own to relay using this line in the configure file:

host_accept_relay = 62.8.64.0/19:212.49.74.0/25

Maybe this is not so good???

I believe this is the reason why I have this problem, but I am wondering
if there is a better way, given that I handle so many virtual domains.

Thanks
