A list I'm a member (not a list manager) on has a recent problem with some subscribers not getting list email.
The list is hosted at PSU.EDU. The list server and the server it relays outgoing email thru are not listed on any blacklists that I can find. But suddenly many subscribers are not receiving email sent to the list. The subscribers are at different ISPs, some big, some small. One subscriber's recent post TO the list has:
Received: by LISTS.PSU.EDU (LISTSERV-TCP/IP release 14.4) with spool id 67394116 for [EMAIL PROTECTED]; Tue, 10 Jan 2006 11:40:02 -0500 Received: from mail.pshift.com (MAIL.pshift.com [63.166.217.30]) by f05n16.cac.psu.edu (8.12.11/8.12.11) with ESMTP id k0AGdvkw098116 for <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>; Tue, 10 Jan 2006 11:39:57 -0500 Received: from mungedusername (unverified [64.30.34.237]) by mail.pshift.com (Vircom SMTPRS 4.2.425.24) with SMTP id <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>; Tue, 10 Jan 2006 11:39:41 -0500 Received-SPF: softfail (mail.pshift.com: domain of transitioning [EMAIL PROTECTED] does not designate 64.30.34.237 as permitted sender) X-Modus-BlackList: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
I don't know that much about SPF - I was wondering if anyone else has encountered this and if this is working correctly? Could SPF settings be causing messages like this to be classified as spam and if so to then result in messages from the list being classified as spam? Thanks! jc
