I have a hosting customer who sent out about 1000 emails using my server yesterday. He did this by piling everyone into his BCC field. These are all opt-ins, otherwise I wouldn't have let him use my server to do it (he asked first, after his regular ISP limited all email to 10 recipients each msg after an ownership chg). A boatload of AOL and MSN users came back on him. All others delivered fine.
Did he get hit with some sort of spammer flag for pouring out so much mail in so short a time in a single message? His mail server was mail.computersanddeals.com, which is a virtual domain within my own Imail 6.04 server. Any insight would be greatly appreciated. Here's what he got from AOL (x 100 or so in a *single* response message): Reporting-MTA: dns; rly-za04.mx.aol.com Arrival-Date: Fri, 26 Apr 2002 09:53:04 -0400 (EDT) Final-Recipient: RFC822; [xxxxx]@aol.com Action: failed Status: 2.0.0 Remote-MTA: DNS; air-za03.mail.aol.com Diagnostic-Code: SMTP; 250 OK Last-Attempt-Date: Fri, 26 Apr 2002 09:53:20 -0400 (EDT) And from MSN (again, quite a few in a single message): Reporting-MTA: dns;cpimssmtpa07.msn.com Received-From-MTA: dns;computersanddeals.com Arrival-Date: Fri, 26 Apr 2002 07:40:55 -0700 Final-Recipient: rfc822;[xxxxx]@hotmail.msn.com Action: failed Status: 5.1.1 --Matt Robertson-- MSB Designs, Inc. http://mysecretbase.com Please visit http://www.ipswitch.com/support/mailing-lists.html to be removed from this list.
