detect invalid or forged
"From" addresses, and will
often block your message
based on this.

11. 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.

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.
13. 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.
15. 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.

16. Reverse DNS is the
process of taking an IP
address and looking up the
name associated with that
IP address.
Inboxemailservers
A properly configured mail
server should have a
reverse DNS entry that
matches the domain name
of the server.
17. A good site to learn about
this, and do various
lookups or Lookup Server.
