Hi all, Thanks again for the help resolving the fully qualified hostname question. Here's another (and hopefully the last): When we send e-mail to someone with an @msn.com address it is immediately rejected.
The message hints that it may be spam-related, but that is definitely not true. Our hosting provider is extremely careful about that, our businesses do not send mass e-mails, and I just double-checked our IP address on Spamhaus and it is clean. This might have to do with my QMT configuration for our two domains. Here are the headers from a rejected message (I obscured the recipient's username but nothing else is changed): ======================================== Hi. This is the qmail-send program at pmcawab.parkermerrick.com. I'm afraid I wasn't able to deliver your message to the following addresses. This is a permanent error; I've given up. Sorry it didn't work out. <recipi...@msn.com> <cjccat...@msn.com>: Connected to 65.55.37.120 but sender was rejected. Remote host said: 550 OU-001 Mail rejected by Windows Live Hotmail for policy reasons. Reasons for rejection may be related to content with spam-like characteristics or IP/domain reputation problems. If you are not an email/network admin please contact your E-mail/Internet Service Provider for help.

In one case I put [137.52.23.46] into the me file. In the other case I changed me and smtpgreeting to use the awabllc name instead of parkermerrick. QMT was restarted after each change, but no joy. Any suggestions or advice would be most appreciated. Thank you! --Adam
