ok am back with another mail problem 
the prob is that i have two accounts right now with two ISP's
VSNL
and
Sancharnet(read BSNL)
Now i use thunderbird's single smtp server to send mail from different accounts like gmail, yahoo etc using address in reply of that account.
eg
for gmail
send through vsnl smtp
reply address(from address actually) of gmail
so that when a person replies, it comes to my gmai/yahoo etc account rather than vsnl.
this was working pretty well for 6 months but now it seems vsnl is rejecting any other from address other than its own(eg it accepts from VSNL.xx only)
so the point is i can't send any mail from gmail,yahoo,hotmail etc via smtp of vsnl(which earlier i could)(and no i wanted to avoid all those poppers so don't use them)
So VSNl is gone..
checked up my dot account. and although it allows you to send mail with any from address there is another major prob there. It turns out i have to be on DOT account(internet) to use its email. eg i can't send it from vsnl internet account. Prob is my dot account is limited hours and VSNL is unlimted.. so am mostly on VSNL.
I have to log off vsnl, go to bsnl account and send mail which is pretty time consuming and ofcourse drains my internet hours in BSNL account.
What i am looking for?
1) either some way around of this from field problem in the VSNL account
2) Or some way around to use sancharnet while am on VSNL ISP account.
i found this on net.. nearest to my problem.. if dynamic dns is a solution then how to make it work?
