Welcome to IWETHEY!

New *grumble*
Damn. It would have been nice if true. Now my terrier-like subconcious will start worrying at this again.

Imric's Tips for Living
  • Paranoia Is a Survival Trait
  • Pessimists are never disappointed - but sometimes, if they are very lucky, they can be pleasantly surprised...
  • Even though everyone is out to get you, it doesn't matter unless you let them win.


Nothing is as simple as it seems in the beginning,
As hopeless as it seems in the middle,
Or as finished as it seems in the end.
 
 
New See what I mean?
This is hilarious.










Oh, not for you though.

New *sigh* I suppose so.
I always have a hard time letting go of something I don't understand... Even when I have an available workaround.

The problem is that I trust what these guys are saying, I trust their expertise, but it's not jibing with my experience... And so the loop continues.

New My variation on that
I always have a hard time letting go of something I don't understand... Even when I have an available workaround.
When something doesn't work, then it does work, I want to know why it didn't work. Which is usually a bitch, because it's not doing it any more, but how am I supposed to know it won't happen again?

New Our network admin was just bit by that
Exchange wasn't connecting to the data store. MS support can't explain why. 10 hours on the phone passes, examining AD, DNS, etc, etc.

Then it starts working. MS takes credit, can't give any kind of satisfactory explanation, tried claiming it wasn't working before, that it never worked (though IRL everything worked relatively well for a long time).

This morning it dropped again.

Stochastic computing and all that.

New Here:
Client host rejected: Sorry, but we refuse mail directly from hosts with generic reverse DNS.
Please use another outbound mail server.

Pretty clear.

New Have you tried e-mailing Alaric?
[link|http://www.warhead.co.uk/|http://www.warhead.co.uk/] has a mailto: to him. He's the brainiac behind Warhead.

Of course, you might have to use a different account or something...

Cheers,
Scott.

New Nah - I have a workaround.
I was just being stubborn and grumpy about having to use it.

New clearly the issue
nslookup imrics.net gives me your 216.X.X.X address, nslookup of the 216 address gives me your provider. As an ISP I may assign weight to that fact. Warhead tho appears to be a stickler because they host lists and do not want to be accused of third party manipulation of their handled lists they are very strict. Now do you get the same effect with a sciantastic message to warhead? Will they allow one list to get sent to another without reverse dns? Curious.

In another note I suspect that within 2 years all mail which fails reverse dns will be dropped on the floor. Best practice documents like
[link|http://e-com.ic.gc.ca/epic/internet/inecic-ceac.nsf/en/gv00329e.html|http://e-com.ic.gc.c.../en/gv00329e.html]
section 11 pertains to you.

The industry is trying to regulate itself before government does it for us and the document above is being looked at very carefully by all providers.
HTH,
Bill

New Now that's something I needed to know.
Two years, you say? Well - that should give me a little time, anyway. In the meantime I still have the option of using Speakeasy's server, should I be forced to.

As to warhead, I never even thought of sending Scientastic there; geez - I think I'd get CRUCIFIED for spamming the list... Especially if Ranger Bill started critiquing the articles, when nobody here had ever heard of him...

Besides, if everybody started reading Scientastic, I'd have nothing to post in the Science forum on slow days!

New list handling itself is a whole nother topic
if everyone used dkim signed mail does the list replace the original sig with its own? Add a new sig? Can list software be dkim aware at all? How does an dkim aware mta handle a list. All questions waiting to be answered.
thanx.,
bill

New Put the needle on the record....skrrrpppt!
AOL, Yahoo etc... are all flexing muscle right now in the "spam being rejected" arena.

AOL, used to blindly reject Known Dynamic Addresses. Now I believe the are rating SPAM, using the feedback methods built into the AOL mail stuff.

Yahoo, use public and private info to mark stuff as spam.

Me, I use Spamassassin with DCC, Pyzor, RulesDuJour and clamav. I am changing to doing the scanning at smtp time very soon. Right now I have it looping it around through the checking gauntlet before re-submitting to route properly.
