You're absolutly sure about the greylisting on per sender/recipient base? That is, what I get from one of my machines (I never used this machine for outgoing mail): r...@hh:~# swaks -f [email protected] -t [email protected] -q rcpt === Trying f.mx.mail.yahoo.com:25... === Connected to f.mx.mail.yahoo.com. <** 421 Message from (213.128.132.49) temporarily deferred - 4.16.50. Please refer to http://help.yahoo.com/help/us/mail/defer/defer-06.html -> QUIT *** Remote host closed connection unexpectedly. About 5 minutes later it would work: r...@hh:~# swaks -f [email protected] -t [email protected] -q rcpt === Trying e.mx.mail.yahoo.com:25... === Connected to e.mx.mail.yahoo.com. <- 220 mta114.mail.re4.yahoo.com ESMTP YSmtp service ready -> EHLO hh.is.schlittermann.de <- 250-mta114.mail.re4.yahoo.com <- 250-8BITMIME <- 250-SIZE 31981568 <- 250 PIPELINING -> MAIL FROM:<[email protected]> <- 250 sender <[email protected]> ok -> RCPT TO:<[email protected]> <- 250 recipient <[email protected]> ok -> QUIT <- 221 mta114.mail.re4.yahoo.com === Connection closed with remote host.
