Re: Can someone tell me what this means?

Hello Jack,

MDP ... the reverse DNS for your domain specified a mail exchange
MDP computer called ohmx-2.columbus.rr.com. When the RITlabs mail
MDP exchanger attempted to connect back to it to verify its existence,
MDP it failed. As a result, your message was rejected. This is a
MDP standard method of protecting against connections from spamming
MDP servers, which characteristically fail the rDNS connect back.

I thought as much but since the same reply was received for two
different people I thought I might be interpreting it incorrectly. So
can you, or anyone, tell me what I should do now? I apparently have no
way to contact RITlabs (which is a very bad situation in itself) and I
can't get an answer on this list.  Is there somewhere else I can ask
about my problem?

Though when I sent it on for you, I did have the From and
Reply-To set your your address. I thought that that would be
good enough, with all the Received: headers etc having my
details, rather than yours.

I could try again with me as From, and you (Jack) as reply
to, or even create a [EMAIL PROTECTED] specially for the
purpose... Shall I do that?

The alternative is to try and track down why the rDNS connect back
is failing

I would certainly appreciate it.

It's a pretty sad situation to have to jump through all of these hoops
to get, what to me is, a relatively simple problem solved.

It might still be wise to investigate the rDNS, as you might
find that other systems also reject your emaail

I wouldn't know how to begin to do this.  I'm on about 30 lists and
have never had a problem contacting them or the support sites for
them.  I could call up my ISP but saying I can't deliver mail to one
address probably won't elicit much help from them.  What should I do
to track this problem down?

Hello,

After not being able to send a message to RitLabs for support, a
member of this list graciously offered to forward my message to them.
That was on 6/4.  Today I received the following message.  Can anyone
explain this to me?  Does it mean they were trying to contact me or
did the message never reach them?

The original message was received at Thu, 3 Jun 2004 18:32:40 +0300
from ms-smtp-02-smtplb.ohiordc.rr.com [65.24.5.136]
