Remote smtp server is not working correctly or spamfilter on it kills message?

Note that it can take a bit time until gmail delivers it to mailbox.

Hello, I would appreciate if you could stop to send all your software 
problems to this list. Most of your problems seem to be qmail-related, 
please go to a qmail list for these. Thanks.

No.


 Note that it can take a bit time until gmail delivers it to mailbox.


Gmail's very quick and it's been an hour now. Usually takes a second.
Another very strange thing about this is that the contact page refreshes to
itself when I try to email (through the form elt). If I pull the email send
stuff out of the script where the form goes,  it doesn't refresh to itself;
rather, it prints what is written in the script to print.

With respect to Kai's suggestion I find a qmail list, I'm sorry to say there
don't appear to be ANY discussion lists for ANY email servers that are
active. I'm desperate to get this working.

qmail is very old and not under development anymore. You should
migrate your system to postfix.
(if topic is unfamiliar, please use consult to perform this migration)

There is also a postfix list as well.

 No.

How do you know? Remote end accepted responsibility. If it does not get 
delivered, it is their problem.


 
 Note that it can take a bit time until gmail delivers it to mailbox.

 
 Gmail's very quick and it's been an hour now. Usually takes a second.

Check spam box. Contact gmail postmaster. Nothing to do with the qmail 
installation.

You are mistaken. The qmail list and the postfix list are very much 
active. Only sendmail does not have a discussion list.

Postfix is under active development, qmail is not developed anymore by
original author.

If you want live with qmail, maybe you can use consult to solve your

Maybe that's because of the nature of your questions. I get the impression 
that you are mostly asking very basic questions that a sysadmin *should* 
know or at least know how to google them up. I get the impression that you 
are not trying hard enough to understand your software. You cannot just 
throw any problem you encounter at the next list you find. For your last 
two questions (about the python script and this one which also seems to be 
related to a script you wrote or use) I get the impression that in both 
cases you simply may have bugs in the code or use it incorrectly. These 
are then not questions for a mailing list about the MTA nor for this list, 
but problems with your code and it might be more helpful to ask on a 
mailing list/newsgroup for coders of that language.

 Why?

That is a good question - I guess that google's email system thinks you're
sending them spam. If you want your mail to be accepted you may need to have
implemented SPF and domainkeys. Also I think that if you are using a script
to generate the email then ensure that you are creating the required headers
and that your mail conforms to the rfc.

You can also try to send mail to your google address by hand i.e. telnet to
google's mail platform on port 25 and mimic the smtp conversation by hand to
see if you can get any further

 Maybe that's because of the nature of your questions. I get the impression 
 that you are mostly asking very basic questions that a sysadmin *should* 
 know or at least know how to google them up. I get the impression that you 
 are not trying hard enough to understand your software. You cannot just 
 throw any problem you encounter at the next list you find. For your last 
 two questions (about the python script and this one which also seems to be 
 related to a script you wrote or use) I get the impression that in both 
 cases you simply may have bugs in the code or use it incorrectly. These 
 are then not questions for a mailing list about the MTA nor for this list, 
 but problems with your code and it might be more helpful to ask on a 
 mailing list/newsgroup for coders of that language.

I agree. I've spent a good bit more of my career as a programmer than as a
sysadmin, and in both cases, I expect the system software to *work* as
expected, and when it doesn't, I find it tends to be truly obscure errors
that senior admins scratch their heads over.

From earlier posts you will have seen that you need to create the headers
correctly in the body part of the email (just after you entered in DATA).
Also do not spoof the domain in the helo portion either your email MUST
be valid in every way or it WILL be discarded by the anti-spam measures.
Also if you continue to send spam to their servers you WILL become black
listed and then even legitimate email will not be delivered. 

If you implement SPF make sure that you get it right or your mail will be
blocked there are plenty of spf checkers out there.

Finally, I would not send mail to service providers like hotmail or google
until I had my script emailing my local domain correctly at least when
you send mail to your localdomain, you're in control of the reception as
well as the transmission.

Good luck

Simon.

 cars or found the monolith on the moon yet, but at least we can have
 proportional fonts with word wrap and basic formatting like bold and
 italics.  If your mail reader can't handle it, get a new one that can.

Hahahaha. I don't even have X, please can you suggest a mail reader?

That's strange. Your mail headers say that not only do you have a 
graphical email client, you are specifically using Thunderbird 3.0.2 to 
read email. Which since I use it myself, I know displays HTML emails 
just fine.

You know, technically, he is right. Unless he installed X, he really 
does not have X on his Mac OS X box. Thunderbird on Mac OS X is not 
compiled against X.

He is just having some fun.
