I see you're running postfix... you might get a clue by checking your
logs for delivery failure (to you) and/or adding "policy" to the default
notify_classes:
# Notifying postmaster
notify_classes =
resource
software
policy
This will send a message to your postmaster account (make sure it's
aliased) for each failure... helps debug the problems... I also use it
to see if my rules are too tight...
Since your messages are being replied to, it would imply that you are not
getting what the others on the list get... I had this problem previously
and kept complaining to Mandrake about their DNS setup. I finally "fixed"
the problem by creating a file (/etc/postfix/my_remotes.hash):
mandrakeclub.com OK
mandrakeforum.com OK
mandrakesoft.com OK
mandrake.org OK
and adding this to /etc/postfix/main.cf in "smtpd_sender_restrictions":
hash:/etc/postfix/my_remotes.hash
Don't forget run "postmap" on any new hash files and "postfix reload".
This is NOT the proper fix; but it gets around the problem for now... if
I start seeing spam sneaking though this "hole", it'll get shutdown in a
NY minute...
Depending on your rules, you may have to find the best location in the
list... In case it helps, my configs are at
http://pfortin.com/Linux/PostFix (see bottom of that page)...
HTH,
