Sounds like it, but that error message implies that your message was
rejected because the "failure period" was not long enough. ;-)
But sysadmins can put any text they like, and even muck with the
quasi-pseudo-standardised 5xx and 4xx error codes, so it can be good
going to half understand half of them.

In my case it appears that my dynamic IP was falling foul of list host
anti-spam measures, and my initial attempts to relay my posts via the
ISP were a tad off. In case anyone else is running postfix, I had:

relayhost = mail.internode.on.net
   # Which should have been:
relayhost = [mail.internode.on.net]

The former worked for all destinations other than sourceforge.
(What's the difference? Well the doco says "... [] eliminates DNS MX
lookups.", but I'm not digging further, 'coz it now works.

Actually Jon, it's from your helpful off-list reply on "Thu, 31 Jul 2008
12:10:59 -0500", where a prior bounce was described, that I
gained the inkling that sourceforge had begun employing SpamAsassin.
(A spam-free list is worth a lot, but can cost a lot of effort to find
out how to get back on, especially when there's no reply from postmaster
or hostmaster, despite the RFCs.)

Yeah, what are they up to?  I have already had a perfectly reasonable 
message rejected.
This was the "reason" for the message being rejected.

  [EMAIL PROTECTED]
retry time not reached for any host after a long failure period


Maybe just a computer glitch.

[Emc-users] This is a test, since my last several posts have been swallowed.

2008-09-24 Thread Erik Christiansen
I've tweaked my postfix configuration very slightly, and am hoping that
will allow me to post, despite sourceforge's anti-spam upgrade.

So in the unlikely event that this get's through: This is a test.
Sorry about that.
