RE: [IMail Forum] 150K mailing list
If it was inappropriate an inappropriate question, I think that you would have heard more than silence... I would think that to avoid getting blacklisted, then you have to make sure this isn't spam, as the volume itself shouldn't cause any problems if it is going to legit subscribers/customers. 150K is a big list though. Are they a large enough site so that it makes sense that they could generate a list that big? Do you see any mention of them or previous incarnations of their companies in any of the spam blacklists? Have you previewed the message that they are going to send out?

[IMail Forum] IMail Forum] mail::sendmail and Imail problem
I use the mail::sendmail perl module on my windows 2003 server to send mail from my cgi scripts through Imail. It has worked great for months, but all of a sudden I am not able to send mail to most external domains. For example, when trying to go to my @mac.com address, I get the error (from the script): 550 not local host mac.com, not a gateway And no error or log makes it into the Imail sys logs... I can send mail directly from Imail webmail to these addresses and if I have the cgi scripts use the Imail1.exe application. And I can use mail::sendmail to send email to addresses in my own domain. Any ideas why this would stop working or where to look? Could it be an Imail problem (I'm guessing not, but I don't know what else to do). Thanks for any ideas or tips on getting this working again.

RE: [IMail Forum] mail::sendmail and Imail problem
I did just bind some new IP addresses to the server, so maybe that is the problem (I can't remember if I did that after this problem started or just before :- )... The IP of the server didn't change though, and that was already on the list of trusted IP addresses in Imail, so I wouldn't think that could cause a problem... I added them all and restarted, so will see what happens. Thanks for the suggestion.

RE: [IMail Forum] mail::sendmail and Imail problem
The 550 not local host error was from the script itself. These are from my imail server logs. And no, I don't have mac.com setup as a local domain. And I got the same log entries for a ton of other domains I tried to send to that day. I was thinking the error was in that IP address in the log being incorrect. It doesn't match the one in my MX records for the mail server and is instead one of the new ones I added to the server for some new websites I am creating...

Re: [IMail Forum] Upgrading
I am using IMail on a Windows 2003 server. I noticed your comment 'be sure to turn of EDNS (Google)' and didn't really understand what that means so am guess I haven't done it. I use Simple DNS on the same server for my DNS. Is that an issue for me? On Monday, June 14, 2004, at 12:14PM, Sanford Whiteman [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: I'm going to...put it on a W2K3 box. Gotcha's I need to be aware of? We have been instructed to upgrade the NT4 box to the latest and then make the move to the new box against a fresh install. This is a good method which keeps the new server feelin' fresh. However, the most important consideration with IMail and W2K3 is with W2K3 DNS; if you are using W2K3 DNS (on localhost or elsewhere), you must be sure to turn of EDNS (Google), or mail to many domains will fail. --Sandy Sanford Whiteman, Chief Technologist Broadleaf Systems, a division of Cypress Integrated Systems, Inc. e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] SpamAssassin plugs into Declude! http://www.mailmage.com/products/software/freeutils/SPAMC32/download/release/ Defuse Dictionary Attacks: Turn Exchange Addresses into IMail Aliases! http://www.mailmage.com/products/software/freeutils/exchange2aliases/download/release/ To Unsubscribe: http://www.ipswitch.com/support/mailing-lists.html List Archive: http://www.mail-archive.com/imail_forum%40list.ipswitch.com/ Knowledge Base/FAQ: http://www.ipswitch.com/support/IMail/ Vincent Iannelli, MD Keep Kids Healthy - free pediatric parenting advice - http://www.keepkidshealthy.com Your Guide to Pediatrics - http://pediatrics.about.com To Unsubscribe: http://www.ipswitch.com/support/mailing-lists.html List Archive: http://www.mail-archive.com/imail_forum%40list.ipswitch.com/ Knowledge Base/FAQ: http://www.ipswitch.com/support/IMail/
