Ahh Tabor I always knew I could count on you. -=> From: "Tabor J. Wells" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> -=> -=> Verizon implemented a (arguably broken) SMTP callout system a few months ago. -=> Look for connections from hosts named something like sc###pub.verizon.net -=> doing a MAIL FROM:<[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
There is one message, on the 18th of November from [EMAIL PROTECTED] that was rejected on a failed verify: 2003-11-18 20:40:32 verify failed for SMTP recipient [EMAIL PROTECTED] from <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> H=sc002pub.verizon.net [206.46.170.146]: 1 Time(s) Does that mean, that, becuase it was rejected, I'm never going to get on their whitelist? Hrm ... the members of the wearables mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] who have verizon accounts are not going to be pleased. *sigh* -=> If you're failing that connection for some reason they defer your inbound -=> mail going the other direction. Also if it doesn't happen quick enough it'll -=> defer the connection as well. Yep ... everything I get is a 450 Defered. Of course ... I set up another computer on another net-drop entirely (I went to Diesel) and that got rejected with a: 550 You are not allowed to send mail:sc015pub.verizon.net 554 5.0.0 Service unavailable Which, according to Verizon was the problem that NM mentioned, that if there isn't a valid MX and PTR record for your machine, you are not accepted. -=> There have been plenty of reports of sites having problems working with the -=> system. Good luck getting ahold of someone at VZ to fix it though. I finally got through ... I've been on the phone with various departments since about 4 this evening, and I just hung up at 7:56, finally able to get an error report into their system. I have a feeling it would have been easier to simply set up a DSL line with them, get them to solve the problem, and then cancel the order. It was quite a trick of social engineering to try and get through to someone who could even talk to me without giving them a DSL account phone number. *sigh* I don't recommend it to anyone, even Sysuphus admirer. -=> A search of the various anti-spam mailing lists/newsgroups will probably -=> find more detailed info on what the thresholds, etc are. Thanks ... now that I have the strings to search for, it's going much faster. -dkap -=> -------------------------------------------------------------------- -=> Tabor J.
