Re: [IMail Forum] unacceptable mail address

[Eric Shanbrom \(Ipswitch\)]

Are you sure this is the correct address to use? The return address in the from field of the message or in the headers are not what is checked against the kill list. What is checked is the sender's address from the envelope (see the from line in the SMTP log not the message).I could set up this client to say example.com as the from field but if it is was sent through a domain who's sever identified itself as example2.com in the SMTP envelope (see the from line in the SMTP log) @*example.com would not catch it. I would track this message through the log if you can to see what the actual sender's address was that was denied   Eric S ----- Original Message ----- From: RMilner To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, November 12, 2003 11:37 AM Subject: RE: [IMail Forum] unacceptable mail address Did you ever get a definitive answer from Tech Support on this?

I decided to insert only domains and addresses I was sure were spam myself and cleared the kill.lst. Like you, I used they syntax @*domain.tld with no . before the domain. The first address that I put in was @*greenmarkerdom.com. I continue to get spam from addresses such as [EMAIL PROTECTED], so I can only conclude that imail has a bug when using a @* without a .domain.tld.   There are less than 10 addresses in the kill file, so this cannot be the 100 entry issue either.   Seems more like a bug. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]On Behalf Of Gary Harlam Sent: Monday, October 27, 2003 8:59 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [IMail Forum] unacceptable mail address unacceptable mail address in MAIL FROM . . .   We have added a bunch of names to the Kill.lst file in the form of @*domain.com.    We are getting mail bounced with the sender getting:     "501 unacceptable mail address"   10:27 10:31 SMTPD(0CD300E8) [207.217.120.84] EHLO gull.mail.pas.earthlink.net 10:27 10:31 SMTPD(0CD300E8) [207.217.120.84] unacceptable mail address in MAIL FROM:<[EMAIL PROTECTED]>   10:27 14:18 SMTPD(00E700F8) [65.54.246.199] EHLO hotmail.com 10:27 14:18 SMTPD(00E700F8) [65.54.246.199] unacceptable mail address in MAIL FROM:<[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Do I assume correctly that Imail will match against the EHLO name and not the MAIL FROM address ?  I have searched the kill file for any possible matches to the sending domain name and can't find any.  Is there a way to get Imail to disclose the match or the reason for the denial ?
