Friends,
here is the result of a qmlog smtp -t 100 ( i sifted through that for
a reference to the 'other' machine )
09-02 12:35:46 CHKUSER rejected sender: from <[email protected]::>
remote <mail-out2.fuse.net:unknown:
216.68.8.171> rcpt <> : invalid sender MX domain

so my Q might be ::: can I make CHKUSER allow the sender of
[email protected].
maybe if I recompile CHKUSER ( i am thinking much like I recompiled
it to allow blackberriness (\) )
might that work? -- do you think? and what would i 'say' when i
recompile chckuser?
You are correct there. chkuser has an option to check for the sending
domain's MX record and deny if the sending domain does not have an MX
record. Seems logical since if there is an error you need somewhere to
send that error message to and if there is no MX record there is nowhere
to send it (also acts as a spam check).
You can go in and recompile chkuser to turn this option off
(*CHKUSER_RCPT_MX*) by undefining it. It is undefined in later versions
of chkuser but I plan to leave it on when I update chkuser - it makes
more sense to keep it because of what it does rather than remove it and
force 98% of our users to then turn it back on.
You may also be able to turn it off in your tcp.smtp file for specific
IP addresses, much like SENDER_NOCHECK, but I have not tried this and no
one else has posted back as to the validity of this.
You can also add that domain to your DNS so it does have a valid MX record.
Hope that helps some.
