Re: [swinog] Bluewin restricting access to smtp-auth on ip base?

Hi,

Bluewin apparently has added ip-range restrictions to smtpauth.bluewin.ch so it is not usable anymore from some ip-ranges (like ours and freesurf I was told).

Well, i don't work at Bluewin-Messaging anymore, but:

'Free' (aka non-paying, aka not-verified) customers are not allowed to use smtpauth.bluewin.ch from non-bluewin networks.

We do/did this to stop spammers: Otherwise they'd just register free accounts for spamming.

Your customer has two options:

#1: He can 'glue' his free account to a pay-account

#2: He can call the bluewin helpdesk and tell them to disable the 'iprestriction option' for his mailaccount.
