For anyone running a mail server that has to use <a href="http://shawmail.wp.shawcable.net">shawmail.wp.shawcable.net</a> as the smarthost, it has a limit of 1,000 messages/day before it cuts you off for 24 hours. I suspect it might be closer to 2,500 [0], but the CSR at Shaw told me 1,000. Normally you wouldn't run into this, but as it turns out all the email coming in to my server gets relayed to gmail, including the spam. <br>
<br>You can see if you're under the ban:<br><br># telnet <a href="http://shawmail.wp.shawcable.net">shawmail.wp.shawcable.net</a> 25<br>Trying 64.59.128.135...<br>Connected to <a href="http://shawmail.wp.shawcable.net">shawmail.wp.shawcable.net</a> (<a href="http://64.59.128.135">64.59.128.135</a>).<br>
