This message is the start of an effort to research just how the BIG MAIL
operators treat SMTP mail from small outfits like nxdomain.no and friends.

We have seen GOOG and to a lesser extent MSFT, YHOO mail exchangers seem to
accept messages from our domains for delivery, only to have them not turn
up in the intended inboxes after all or at best land in the users spam folders.

I am pondering starting a campaign to collect war stories with as much log data
and other relevant data as possible in order to write an article which may
evolve to something else.

If you have a story along those lines that you can back up with actual data
that you are allowed to share, I want to hear from you. Even "for your eyes
only" sharing can be useful as background or context.

All the best,
Peter
