I looked at it too. On PBL. So it's possible that Time Warner just
recently updated the list or something?

Anyway, I tried setting up smarthost and was not able to get it to work,
but I was successful setting up mailertable for .com, .net, and .org so
these are being relayed through time warner's mail server. That should
cover most of it.

I'm watching my maillog today and I don't see anything out of the
ordinary.

Well, it's not his fault:

Roadrunner is not meant for mailservers. I have been blocking them already
for years.

This address is on the PBL because Time Warner says it shouldn't be sending
e-mail. He will have to use roadrunners smarthost, and see if they allow it.
If they consider it a residential account, their AUP probably bans running any
servers anyway, so he will have to deal with them.

Spamhaus for sure is hugely popular. My web hosting ISP (OLM in CT)
started using it and I was having problems using SMTP, because the
Dynamic IP's we were getting from our local ISP were frequently listed
on Spamhaus. I gave up and began using Gmail. No problems sending
email now. :-)

You should then contact their support. It got to work.

I think all the masquerade options are causing your problems. Just set the
proper smarthost and restore the other options to what they were and then test.

Or switch to postfix. I plunked "relayhost = smtp-server.roadrunner.com"
into main.cf & away it went.

why change software just because one configuration line is different?

why are you using MASQUERADE_AS ?!?

you should be able to do this with just the SMART_HOST line.
