If you do really want to allow relay for all of those IP's *ALL* of the
numeric IPs need to be specified BEFORE any names.
BUT, you really dont want to do this, becuase then not only your
customers, but ANYONE on this 'Tuscali' network, anywhere, would be able
to relay through your server. You need a way of identifying just *you*
customers. Unless you have a set of IP's that ONLY your customers will
be connecting on, the only way to do that is with SMTP AUTH. That is
where your customers have to supply valid username/passwor dcombination
to identify themselves.
