SUMMARY

Some ISP's may block IP ranges for specific domains and therefore can prevent MailEnable from being able to send outbound messages destined to recipients that reside within the blocked domains. A workaround is to create the domains locally within MailEnable and configure the smarthost option to smarthost messages destined to the blocked domains through an alternative IP address (mail server). This article explains the steps involved and is using Hotmail.com as example domain.
