I don't want to pick a fight ;-) But it seems to send from yahoo.com - BUT, courier says it isn't - which I find confusing!
>From the logs: started,ip=[216.109.116.229] error,relay=216.109.116.229,from=<[EMAIL PROTECTED]>: 517-Sender rejected: [EMAIL PROTECTED] can be accepted only from error,relay=216.109.116.229,from=<[EMAIL PROTECTED]>: 517 yahoo.com's mail relays. If I nslookup 216.109.116.229 I get: Name: web60006.mail.yahoo.com Address: 216.109.116.229 So I am assuming that the way "freemail" works is that it checks to see if the sending server is in the MX list for the freemail domain - I understood the docs to mean that it would reverse resolve within the domain - which seems to be wrong... Can this be fixed or is it worth it considering the promised timeline from yahoo? If it's not a big deal, might be better to fix it just in case their timelines or the difficulty in implementing run long. I just saw Sam's email quoting the yahoo statement - will go read that now - thanks. m/ -----Original Message----- From: Andrew Newton [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Monday, January 05, 2004 3:12 PM To: Mitch (WebCob) Cc: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: [courier-users] freemail list and questions about yahoo...

Would be an interesting > resource... Actually, I've taken yahoo.com out of my freemail list (don't know about yahoo.ca) because Yahoo no longer sends email from machines that are in yahoo.com. It was great while it worked because it snagged quite a few bits of spam, but unfortunately now this will also catch legit mail from Yahoo users. -andy ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: IBM Linux Tutorials.
