Re: Yahoo bounces my mail (may be OT)

Hi,

John Phillips wrote in msgid:[EMAIL PROTECTED] :

 Yahoo has been receiving soft and hard bounces (whatever they are

 Last error message is No MX or A records for bigpond.com 

 What does this mean?

This means that Yahoo is unable to determine to which IP address they
should forward/deliver mail that is intended for addresses @bigpond.com.

 Bigpond.com is the largest isp in Australia.  Any clues how to fix this?

I checked and there are in fact entries (of the A and MX type) for
bigpond.com:

bigpond.com.3600MX  10  extmail.bigpond.com.
extmail.bigpond.com.3600A   144.135.25.8

The MX DNS entry tells us that mail for bigpond.com is handled by
extmail.bigpond.com and this server can be reached under 144.135.25.8.

This seems to be a problem on yahoo's side, there's not very much you can
do. Hopefully they might get the DNS resolving in a better shape
eventually. In the meantime you might try sending mail to
username@[144.135.25.8] but I'm not sure if this works.

Regards,

Markus
