Send From A Mail Server With A Static IP Address

Some mail servers will reject your email if it comes from a mail server with a dynamic IP address.

Most home computers that connect to the internet through an Internet Service Provider (ISP) will often be given a dynamic IP address by their ISP.

It is called a dynamic IP because it could be different each time you connect.

If your computer is connected via a dynamic IP address you should avoid using AutoMSW's "Direct Send" feature.

Instead, use your ISP's SMTP server, which will have a static IP address.

To use your ISP's SMTP server choose the "Change..." button in the "From" section in AutoMSW, and choose the SMTP mail server option.

If you would like to obtain a static IP address, contact your ISP. Many ISPs will offer a static IP

for an additional monthly charge.

Send From A Mail Server With A Matching Reverse DNS (rDNS) Entry

Many mail servers will perform a reverse DNS lookup on the IP address of the mail server, and make sure it matches the domain name of that mail server.

If it does not match, the receiving mail server may refuse connection. Anti-spam software may also do reverse DNS lookups before delivering your email to the recipient.

Reverse DNS is the process of taking an IP address and looking up the name associated with that IP address.

A properly configured mail server should have a reverse DNS entry that matches the domain name of the server.

A good site to learn about this, and do various lookups or Lookup Server.

If you have purchased a static IP address through your internet service provider you can usually ask them to set up a reverse DNS entry for your purchased static IP address.
