Hi, I'm floundering in the dark here, so I thought I'd ask the list (maybe I'm looking in the wrong places). Since the end of last year I've gradually lost the ability to post on many mailing lists. The latest is the clfs lists, which is kind of awkward. To look at it another way, I can only post to LFS lists!
Information received (thanks, Jeremy) says that Envelope-From is screwed up - I'm generating From: [EMAIL PROTECTED], that's no longer adequate for passing the spamtraps. I have what ought to be a not-too-uncommon setup - a broadband connection, outgoing mail from one box (the server), and other boxes (desktop machines) sending mail to the server about backups, log rotation, smartd monitoring, etc. At the moment I'm using postfix-2.2.9 on the server (just upgraded it an hour or so ago), with sender_canonical and smtp_generic_maps. I also tried envelope_from_address and use_envelope_from in .muttrc. I suspect these are doing all they're supposed to (I claim to be [EMAIL PROTECTED]) but maybe they don't address the real problem - my internet IP is appearing in the headers as localhost.localdomain. So, apart from cursing the spammers who've forced admins to tighten up what mail is acceptable, what should I do ? Until my replies stopped getting through, I was able to ssh to my server from whichever machine was the desktop-du-jour (or from the laptop), and deal with my mail. I can see that I could run e.g. kmail on a desktop talking directly to my isp's smtp server, but that isn't very helpful - sent mail would be on the box I happened to be using when I sent it, incoming mail would go to wherever fetchmail was running. That isn't manageable. Any suggestions, please ?
