Re: rejected mail
Hi, On Fri, 18 Jan 2002 Aaron Schrab spewed into the ether: [-- snip --] No, that's just his local MTA listing where it got the message from. There's likely no way to change the value there, since it would likely always use the login name of the invoking user, and localhost since it's getting the message from a pipe rather than via SMTP. This value would not be passed to the recipient's mail server in anyway. Actually, it might be sent in a Received: header, but the message is rejected before the local MTA has a chance to send any of the headers. Try setting 'envelope_from' in your muttrc. The envelope from is already being set fine (at least it's not obiously wrong, and is in a domain that exists). See the MAIL From: line quoted in the original message. Oops ! You're right. Replied too fast to that one, without reading the transcript properly. Sorry :-( Well, then, I guess Todd will just have to contact the sys-admin and figure out what the 'policy' is. pv. -- Prahlad Vaidyanathan [EMAIL PROTECTED] I'll defend to the death your right to say that, but I never said I'd listen to it! -- Tom Galloway with apologies to Voltaire msg23402/pgp0.pgp Description: PGP signature

Either your mail address, your ISP, or an SMTP server on the route have probably been blacklisted for SPAM, or maybe you sent something naughty to her in the past? I suggest you mail the administrator (POSTMASTER@) to find out what policy is rejecting your mail. Without that knowledge, there's probably not much you can do. -- David Smith Tel: +44 (0)1454 462380 (direct) STMicroelectronicsFax: +44 (0)1454 617910 1000 Aztec WestTINA (ST only): (065) 2380 Almondsbury Home: 01454 616963 BRISTOLMobile: 07932 642724 BS32 4SQ Work Email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Home Email: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
