question about ip address and googleapps
Posted: Mon Jan 19, 2009 2:04 pm
Hi:
I was looking for a solution to a problem and was wondering if swiftmailer would solve it. My situation is this: I am letting Google handle my smtp server. I have a Joomla 1.57 site setup and can't seem to have it relay my outgoing mail from my server at home through my google smtp without having my ip address of my server included in the email. It works fine for most email recipients like google mail users, but my IP address is on a blocklist that yahoo uses, so any email sent to yahoo users email accounts are bounced back. My ISP has requested that my IP range be blocked by adding the range to a PBL. The PBL states:
Outbound Email Policy of Comcast for this IP range:
Email sent by Comcast subscribers using a mail program such as Outlook Express are required to send the email through Comcast. To insure your mail program is properly configured, please visit http://www.comcast.net/help/faq/index.j ... mail117481. If you are a Comcast Commercial Services customer and need support, please contact support_biz@cable.comcast.com
The reason why I don't use Comcast's outgoing mail server is because I have my own domain and google apps allows transparency concerning where the email originated. I'd like for recipients to see my domain as the sender and not Comcast (currently when I send email out to a google mail account, those users receive them just fine because Google mail does not subscribe to the PBL that yahoo subscribes to.)
I don't mind being responsible for spamming and it's not my intent. Thing is, I'm not running an SMTP server, I'm just trying to relay out going messages to my google smtp server. I heard that swiftmailer can be used as a solution to this problem. Is this correct? Hope this all made sense.
With kind regards.
