Further to this, I was about to email the sender back saying they had a network misconfiguration. The message was also having an invalid PTR yet when I do an nslookup the PTR is set and has matching forward and reverse DNS.
Does the invalid PTR check simply check for existing and valid PTR or does it compare it to the HELO? In this case the HELO is set and has valid matching forward DNS. The reverse DNS is for a hostname set up by their datacentre that does not match the HELO. -----Original Message----- From: Colin Waring [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: 16 October 2013 17:42 To: 'ASSP development mailing list' Subject: [Assp-test] "local but not valid recipient removed from mail header" Howdy, I've had someone having trouble emailing one of the accounts that we host and the logs had something I have never seen before. 2013-10-16 16:57:29 m1-39048-10113 [Worker_1] [TLS-out] 1.1.1.1 <[email protected]> to: [email protected] TO: - local but not valid recipient [email protected] removed from mail header 2013-10-16 16:57:29 m1-39048-10113 [Worker_1] [TLS-out] 1.1.1.1 <[email protected]> to: [email protected] Message-Score: added 10 (irValencePB) for InvalidAddress, total score for this message is now 10 2013-10-16 16:57:29 m1-39048-10113 [Worker_1] [TLS-out] 1.1.1.1 <[email protected]> to: [email protected] TO: - local but not valid recipient [email protected] removed from mail header 2013-10-16 16:57:29 m1-39048-10113 [Worker_1] [TLS-out] 1.1.1.1 <[email protected]> to: [email protected] Message-Score: added 10 (irValencePB) for InvalidAddress, total score for this message is now 20 First thing, the scoring was done twice. Most importantly, there was only one recipient on the email and it is a perfectly valid recipient that has been sending/receiving emails throughout the day. Emails from this particular sender always seem to be rejected. If I put the recipient email address into the following link, it successfully validates it: http://mythic-beasts.com/~pdw/cgi-bin/emailvalidate Any ideas what the problem may be?
