It is, in fact, the SHSU servers that are adding it, so far as I can tell. But it's adding it only to your messages, so far as my trash can demonstrates. Here are the headers that are showing up in your emails: 12/11 - {Fraud?} {Disarmed} Re: {Fraud?} {Disarmed} Re: [Finale] Question About Proper Notation X-Greylist: Delayed for 00:10:09 by milter-greylist-3.1.4 (mail2.shsu.edu [158.135.1.173]); Tue, 11 Dec 2007 17:44:22 -0600 (CST) 12/11 - {Fraud?} {Disarmed} Fw: [Finale] Question About Proper Notation X-Greylist: IP, sender and recipient auto-whitelisted, not delayed by milter-greylist-4.0 (lnxrac2.shsu.edu [158.135.1.69]); Tue, 11 Dec 2007 15:33:05 -0600 (CST) 12/11 - {Fraud?} {Disarmed} Re: [Finale] Question About Proper Notation X-Greylist: Delayed for 00:10:10 by milter-greylist-4.0 (lnxrac2.shsu.edu [158.135.1.69]); Tue, 11 Dec 2007 15:22:14 -0600 (CST) 11/5 - {Fraud?} {Disarmed} Re: [Finale] mp3 X-Greylist: Delayed for 00:10:10 by milter-greylist-4.0 (lnxrac2.shsu.edu [158.135.1.69]); Mon, 05 Nov 2007 10:12:36 -0600 (CST) I have no idea why you're being "greylisted" repeatedly. Perhaps because of the SMTP server you're using for sending email? Actually, no, now that I look at your messages I see that they all have something like this as the first RECEIVED: header (before the your SMTP server): Received: from les (unverified [76.9.66.82]) by smtp1.sti.net (Rockliffe SMTPRA 8.0.3) with SMTP id <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>; Mon, 5 Nov 2007 07:51:41 -0800 The UNVERIFIED seems to be the issue. Checking for this in all the headers in my trash can (N messages), I see in one of your messages from yesterday, this header: X-Greylist: Delayed for 00:10:10 by milter-greylist-4.0 (lnxrac2.shsu.edu [158.135.1.69]); Thu, 13 Dec 2007 19:38:09 -0600 (CST) That one wasn't marked with the {Fraud?} subject tag, but it does have the originating machine name/IP address. There are very few other messages to the Finale list that have an unverified host name/IP address in the headers. I do see one from Michael Good on 10/22, and it also has a X-Greylist header, but no subject tag. On the other hand, two other messages from Michael on 10/18 and 10/19 with near-identical headers (in regard to UNVERIFIED) lack the X- Greylist header. On the other hand, a similar message from Michael on 10/17 has the X-Greylist header (and no subject tags). And this search also turned up three messages from you with X- Greylist headers and no subject tags from the 10/15. No other posters showed up with UNVERIFIED in the RECEIVED: headers, except Thurletta Brown-Gavins. Most of those posts (with the exception of the ones from Michael Good mentioned above) had the X- Greylist header (and no subject tags). So, it seems that the subject tags come from: 1. SHSU's greylisting software 2. which is triggered by unverified host names/IP addresses in the Received headers. Why it sometimes adds the X-Greylist header and sometimes doesn't, and why it sometimes tags the subjects and sometimes doesn't, I don't know. But we at least know the source now. How do you get your Internet connectivity? Broadband? Dialup? That might explain it, as most broadband users have connections that resolve the IP address to a fixed host name (even if the IP is dynamic). It may be that your Internet provider handles this differently. -- David W.
