I just tried to join CocoaForge, and failed because it wasn't able to deliver the confirmation message to my mail server. The problem occurred because my server wasn't able to verify the sender address - we don't accept email from addresses that we can't deliver to. We check that before accepting mail for delivery. And, we don't whitelist broken domains.
The email was sent from the address [email protected] - but the entire cocoaforge.com domain is screwed up. The DNS records say to deliver email to % host -tmx cocoaforge.com cocoaforge.com mail is handled by 5 mail.23i.net. (I've copied this notice to 23i's registered technical contact) But, mail.23i.net refuses email in that domain: it says: % host -tmx cocoaforge.com cocoaforge.com mail is handled by 5 mail.23i.net. lynndie-28 % telnet mail.23i.net 25 Trying 208.83.221.66... Connected to mail.23i.net. Escape character is '^]'. 220 mail.23i.net ESMTP ehlo iane 250-... mail from:<[email protected]> 250 ok rcpt to:<[email protected]> 553 sorry, that domain isn't in my list of allowed rcpthosts (#5.7.1) quit 221 mail.23i.net Connection closed by foreign host. The #5.7.1 is screwed up, too. That's supposed to be an enhanced error code, and should be reported at the start of the string, like this: 553 5.7.1 sorry, that domain isn't in my list of allowed rcpthosts --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Growl Discuss" group.
