Yeah, I have SPF records. I may move my mailboxes to my domain provider, who might should be able to do better.
But explain: - getting Digests - not able to post - no errors?! -----Original Message----- From: IBM Mainframe Discussion List <IBM-MAIN@LISTSERV.UA.EDU> On Behalf Of Rick Troth Sent: Friday, April 5, 2024 3:24 PM To: IBM-MAIN@LISTSERV.UA.EDU Subject: Re: Posting issues? Let's see if this gets through. I THINK my posts are making it (seems like one did earlier this week), and this being a GMail identity, that would make sense. Phil, you're trying to use a custom address. That is to say, you're using a personal domain. I observe that such are increasingly challenged. I don't have a solution, but I'm chasing a couple of remedies. Maybe we can connect. Maybe we can achieve critical mass? It's all about trust. The major email providers don't "trust" akphs.com. I find that one of my personal domains cannot send to my wife's mailbox at Yahoo!. This is a real problem for us and gonna get worse. All email which is outsourced to Googoo gets through. (sometimes to the spam folder) But Yahoo! slams the door *hard* and won't accept email sent from a residential IP address. Googoo is reasonable about *accepting* traffic too. (again, sometimes to quarantine) I have not tried (e.g.) AOL or Hotmail. I did try a former employer's email service and got rejected. Two things I have in place which supposedly would help: SPF record and DKIM key. These are both in the DNS. The home IP address being in the SPF record should be enough for Yahoo! to accept it. Doesn't work. The DKIM key and the signature on the traffic should confirm that any given message is authentic. Doesn't help. Then too, some are starting to use "DNS SEC". (And some are not, even many luminaries. DNSSEC is a pain in all cases and impractical for most.) But I don't know if Yahoo! is flagging things based on DNSSEC or lack of. Anyone else having troubles, let's circle-up off-list and see what we can figure out. -- R; <>< On 4/5/24 14:34, Phil Smith III wrote: > Starting about a week ago, I noticed that posts sent from my lists@akphs > address weren't showing up in the archives.
