Re: qmail and smtp error messages
The dynamic DNS registration is only mapping your forward lookup (name-IP). I believe the problem is that AOL and mindspring are doing reverse lookups (IP-name) which of course return the fact that you are sending from a dialup IP from sprint.net. The simple fix is to use Sprints SMTP server as a relay for all mail going to AOL and mindspring. Others may have better suggestions. That's the best I can come up with. :) On Tue, 4 May 1999, Jason wrote: im running qmail 1.03 on a redhat 6.0 machine and was formerly running qmail 1.01 on redhat 5.2.. ive got a "dedicated" dial-up connection to the internet with dynamic dns to register my hostname (welsh.dynip.com) i can send and receive smtp mail just fine except to a few domains.. mindspring.com, and aol.com.

Congratulations, you're a martyr in the War on Spam. You suffer so others don't have to. Thanks for the sacrifice. The spamically correct thing for you to do is configure your qmail to send everything out through your ISP's mail hub. -Dave
