Hi,

    I recently installed Fedore Core-1 on my system at home.
    I have installed postfix + clamav + spamassassin + amavis on it.
    I connect via Reliance's landline. Everything works fine except for
    emails I send to rediffmail.com.

    All emails sent there get stuck in the queue. I get a message
    "Server dropped connection without initial greeting" in my logs.

    Someone told me that it could be because I'm on dial-up and
    rediffmail rejects mails from dynamic IPs. Is this true? If yes,
    how do I overcome this?

    I'm using my setup to fetch mails from 2 different domains. I
    thought I could use one of their smtp servers as my relayhost,
    but I have to send emails from 2 different accounts on different
    domains.

    Does postfix support using different relayhosts based on the
    'from' address? Some preliminary googling gave me disappointing
    results, but I'm hoping that some solution is possible.

Thanks in advance.

Regards,
Manu
