I trust you, but I would still like to have a go (I actually already
tried but, as you say, your machine is not always online).

From what you say you must have something like, I *guess*:

accept    sender_domains  = +local_domains
    endpass
    hosts  = +relay_from_hosts
    message    = we do not relay


that, if it is the only "outgoing" accept rule, would effectively
enforce that the MAIL FROM: is in the local domain.

this is also what I said:

but I do not know what the "roving users" Philip mentioned are.

So, could you dial out at 14:00 GMT (unless your rule is similar to
the one I wrote above)? Is the IP the same as the outgoing one, by
the way?

Thanks

Giuliano
