RE: sender_was_rejected./Remote_host_said:____/
That didn't seem to do, apparently, I checked the correct functionality of our DNS and so on. Although in my log quote I used fake addresses those were just slightly changed. The usual protect the innocent (not from the regulars from this list, of course). Actually I do remember obtaining one of those messages and log entries when I tried to subscribe to this list. Which would mean that q-mail smtp daemons do give this Remote_host_said: response. Anyone has any pointers? The weirdest thing is that we have another qmail installation in here that does not receive any of those messages at all. Although I could re-route all outgoing e-mail to it, I rather not as it is a customer system. I am trying to figure out what is the reason for _our_ server to fail, rather than just patch it using another one that works... Yet again, thanks for your time. -Original Message- From: Ahmad Ridha [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Thursday, June 21, 2001 3:46 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: sender_was_rejected./Remote_host_said:/ Alfonso Armenta writes: new msg 2703468 info msg 2703468: bytes 4430 from [EMAIL PROTECTED] qp 28506 uid 502 starting delivery 106109: msg 2703468 to remote [EMAIL PROTECTED] status: local 0/100 remote 1/100 delivery 106109: failure: Connected_to_195.98.97.5_but_sender_was_rejected./Remote_host_said:/ status: local 0/100 remote 0/100 bounce msg 2703468 qp 28512 end msg 2703468 Apparently this is 'random' error.

This can be due to DNS problems when remote sites use bogus anti-spam measures. You'll also see this with some sites that reject empty envelope senders (i.e., you can't send a bounce to them). In general, sites that use either of these strategies aren't worth sending mail to.

Hi! I've been searching through the list without any luck in finding what this error actually means. See some slightly tweaked extract from our qmail logs: new msg 2703468 info msg 2703468: bytes 4430 from [EMAIL PROTECTED] qp 28506 uid 502 starting delivery 106109: msg 2703468 to remote [EMAIL PROTECTED] status: local 0/100 remote 1/100 delivery 106109: failure: Connected_to_195.98.97.5_but_sender_was_rejected./Remote_host_said:/ status: local 0/100 remote 0/100 bounce msg 2703468 qp 28512 end msg 2703468 Apparently this is 'random' error. The user then gets a bounce like this: Connected to 195.98.97.5 but sender was rejected. Remote host said: --- Below this line is a copy of the message. Any clues/hints? Thanks in advance, Alfonso Armenta.
