Re: Email direct from IBM i without relay (was: New lower cost IBM i announced)

The reverse DNS issue is basically if I send email directly from my IBM i

It's a good thing that ISP's use reverse DNS to ensure that a sender's
domain matches the domain of the SMTP client. Why would it be labeled an
"issue"?

When sending email from IBM i, use a sender address (i.e.
sender@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx) that matches a domain name pertaining to your
network (from where the email originates).
