procyon Posted July 8, 2008 Share Posted July 8, 2008 I'm getting more and more messages bouncing back due to blacklisted Thai IP addresses and SMTP servers. The latest two culprits are relay.cat.net.th and smtp.tttmaxnet.com Is there any way to use your own domains SMTP server without a major hassle? I've looked at what Google offer but would rather keep my mail on my own server and just find away to circumnavigate the block. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sjaak327 Posted July 8, 2008 Share Posted July 8, 2008 That's going to be hard, I mean avoiding your own SMTP server from being blacklisted is easy enough (hint to some Thai ISP's ) But some companies, will block "dial up range" IP addresses, Hotmail, and recently GMail do this.

niller74 Posted July 8, 2008 Share Posted July 8, 2008 (edited) Unless you have a static IP number it is really hard and I wouldn't recommend trying. What I do: I have a server outside Thailand that I use for SMTP. Since most providers don't allow traffic on port 25 to other servers than their own you usually have to configure SMTP traffic to a different port (587) is commonly used. EDIT: once again the ISP sys admins in this country prove how incompetent they really are. Edited July 8, 2008 by niller74 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crushdepth Posted July 8, 2008 Share Posted July 8, 2008 We moved our email to Google Apps using our own domain and never had a problem since. Very good low-hassle fix. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
procyon Posted July 9, 2008 Author Share Posted July 9, 2008 Looks like the only way to get round it then is move all the email (over 50 sites) over to Google. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
niller74 Posted July 9, 2008 Share Posted July 9, 2008 It isn't that expensive to rent a server outside Thailand. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
