[courier-users] Re: Where does my mail go??

[Peter Andersson]

I still haven´t figured out how to subscribe to the sourceforge mailing lists. I still recive email from everyone who have tried to email me, except from sourceforge. I have also tried mx lookup via several internet sites one of the responses look like this:

DNS yields following MX entries

  legio.mine.nu  IN MX  10 legio.mine.nu


Only one MX record...

Well, no backups, but as all systems are looking for MX record in every
case, not bad...

Testing MX server: legio.mine.nu

Address lookup did yield following ones:

  IPv4 217.215.189.120

Testing server at address: IPv4 217.215.189.120

[ CONNECTED! ]

 220 legio.mine.nu ESMTP
 HELO nic.funet.fi
 250-legio.mine.nu Ok.
 250-AUTH LOGIN PLAIN
 250-AUTH=LOGIN PLAIN X-NETSCAPE-HAS-BUGS
 250-STARTTLS
 250-XVERP=Courier
 250-XEXDATA
 250-XSECURITY=NONE,STARTTLS
 250-PIPELINING
 250-8BITMIME
 250-SIZE
 250 DSN
 MAIL FROM:<>
 250 Ok.
 RCPT TO:<[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
 250 Ok.

Apparently OK!

2.) For some reason i can't subscribe to the courier mailinglist on
sourceforge. I don't get the confirmation email. Has someone else
experienced the same problems? I have tested my server via my friends
and free email services on the internet and every email have got
delivered except from sourceforge...
    

Perhaps because you use the server address directly.
Can you try to set an MX record to it for some domain?
  

The dns server i use automatically sets the mx records to point at my mailserver.

Thanks for helping out!
