Thanks for the feedback. I am using postfix but it is currently in the closed intranet environment. for external email i am still stuck with using the smtp and pop3 services of our host provider. my smtp is configured to verify user id and password before allowing access and is not an open relay. This problem was there initially when i bought SMTP services from the company, but soon after i had them change it to a closed relay. different domains for localhost and internet is a good idea! I'll work on it! Cheers! Jim

I have my email server set up through Palcomonline. Since the last two days i have been trying to send messages to this list and they were returned due to palcom server being marked as a spam server! I have gone through the evidence at the spews.org.To make matters worse, it records that Mr. Raju of ilugd.org (email of [EMAIL PROTECTED] as recorded in the evidence) maintains this server, or is the contact person for this. This is rather depressing! :( Two possibilities. 1. You have configured your mail server to relay for people other then yor domain. or some other kind of relay. I understand from your previous mail that you are running Postfix. Relaying is a BAD BAD thing and if anyone uses your server to send spam you will be blacklisted within a few hours. Try reading the "block" mail that comes back it will tell you which antispam server has blacklisted you. fix: close the relay. contact the antispam server's admin. 2.The domain for your mail server is not configured properly, Postfix givs this problem. I have scratched my head hairless for more then 3 days to figure this one out. all my messeges kept bouncing. So, probably your mail server is also bouncing messages and the same antispam sever has blacklisted you. fix: assign different domains for localhost and the Internet. Hope it help. PS: these are just guesses. please provide more info like mail.log and stuff. - -- all the things we keep inside, are the things that really matter, the face puts on its best disguise, and all is well, until the heart betrays. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.2.2 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQE/EAYp7v3NbZTFJeIRAjXhAKDmIHlEB8oa7AuqBgUolZ9B4zAQaQCePv8v cjIX1GISuWlCOViJDPGkOWs= =D6rN -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- _______________________________________________ ilugd mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://frodo.hserus.net/mailman/listinfo/ilugd SMS using the Yahoo!
