Re: [IMail Forum] VALFROM failure

[Eric Shanbrom]

It loks like you have an Anti-spam gateway set up as your MX. IMail will 
check the address in the MX record and issue a "rcpt to" for the user to see 
if there is a return of OK. I would bet your anti-spam gateway doesn't know 
who this user is. I just tested this and the machine in fact DOES know the 
user but the response was VERY slow from the PIX you have in frontof the 
machine and is probably cause a timeout on this request. With this condition 
I would expect it to fail.

I  am  not  too familiar with how to interpret this information. Can
anyone point me in the right direction?
The manual is quite helpful.
Simply  put,  VALFROM  means  the MAIL FROM address is not verifiable.
What was the MAIL FROM (envelope sender/return-path) on that message?
