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?
