[xmail] Problem with glst and mail from hotmail

2007-06-04 Thread David Lord

I'm finding that currently hotmail appears to make just one attempt 
to deliver and then gives up. Of course it's my mailserver that's 
broken as hotmail is a large organisation and I'm just a hobbyist.

What I'd like to be able to do is check for, and if not already 
present, prime glst.dbm with the hotmail triple for that contact.

I could possibly get away with whitelisting the hotmail servers but 
I'd rather not on principle.

This might be a good intro for me to get back into doing some 
programming but I'm asking in case someone has already done it.

I've emailed the sender to resend twice with at least an hour between 
attempts. I already had an mnet line for hotmail in glst.conf.

Yahoo is the same, and their groups are notorious for sending once only. 
Its a significant problem.
