AT&T/Bellsouth (now part of Yahoo's email) have always been difficult for deliverability from private mail servers. This is even evident when using static IP's on commercial lines (T1/T3/SHDSL).

Most of my QMT hosts have been on dynamic IPs in the past, so they use a smarthost relay. A few have been converted to static IPs recently, and I'm in the process of converting them to send mail out directly. I expect there will be a few hoops to jump through, for instance with yahoo. We should probably have a wiki page that addresses deliverability issues. Some are probably already covered in the faqs. Does anyone have any insights they'd care to share? -- -Eric 'shubes' On 04/27/2011 09:46 AM, Helmut Fritz wrote: > Thx Eric.
