The post contained a lot of misunderstanding, and it is difficult to know where to begin, but I'll make at least an initial try. > On Fri, Apr 11, 2014 at 1:13 AM, Thijssen <jul...@gmail.com> wrote: > > > We decided to create a special MX for just the bulk mailings This is unclear.

Send "postconf -n", and include logs which show the problem you are having. General advice: hire a good ESP to handle your bulk mail sending needs. Three [mostly-]well-regarded ESPs I can recommend, in no particular order: Mailchimp, Sendgrid, Constant Contact. They know mail, and they have relationships with large receivers. If revenue depends on your bulk mail, their fees will be money well spent. (Perhaps they have reseller arrangements, if that is what's appropriate in your case.) Anyway, mynetworks (and the permit_mynetworks restriction) is the answer to the question as posed, so I'll stop here. -- http://rob0.nodns4.us/ Offlist GMX mail is seen only if "/dev/rob0" is in the Subject:
