Hi,
I'm trying to add a contact to a server that doesn't have a DNS name set up
(i.e. it uses the RFC-821 style address user@[xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx]). However,
Outlook does not accept this style of contact (can't find the name).
I tried removing the brackets, but then the SMTP server on the other side
figures that the IP address is a name rather than an IP address (because it
conforms to a RFC-821 style address for a DNS based name), and then rejects
it as relaying is blocked. (it's trying to send the emails to a Postfix
server on the other side).
Any ideas how to get Outlook to send compliant messages?
Thanks,
Andrew

IIRC, Outlook doesn't support IP-style addressing.
