um, excuse me, but they don't do that. I'm the sendmail sysadmin for our site, I spend a fair bit of time reading mail logs, and if they did that I would see it. Furthermore, they'd be failing to follow the RFCs if they rejected based on a temp fail. What they do is confirm your email address at the outset when you subscribe. You get an email and you have to respond to it. After that, your email submissions have to match what you subscribed with. That initial exchange is not so very time critical as to be killed off by greylisting. They resend after a bit, and you reply to that. It works. > Isn't all of this a little OT for this list, though? It's pertinent to the original poster and to Kern's response to the original poster. --------------- Chris Hoogendyk - O__ ---- Systems Administrator c/ /'_ --- Biology & Geology Departments (*) \(*) -- 140 Morrill Science Center ~~~~~~~~~~ - University of Massachusetts, Amherst <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> --------------- Erdös 4 ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Splunk Inc.
