Hi, Marc,
I have had many problems with gmail, yahoo, hotmail, etc bouncing my
emails. To say they are picky is an understatement. If there is ANY
problem with the structure of your email and/or your email setup,
domain, dns, server IP address, and a bunch of other things , they are
going to bounce it (with zero useful info to explain why). They also
bounce according to how many emails you've sent depending on how
'spammy' they think the email is. They may let a few in. But if you
send 20 'suspect' emails in a day, they'll start bouncing for a day or
so, then let it start passing thru again.
I have found that the best solution is to make sure your emails and
everything related to your outbound server are all completely clean
according to spam analysis criteria. A good place to start is
mail-tester.com <http://www.mail-tester.com/> Go to the web site and
they'll give you a temp email address that you can send an email to.
After you send it, click the link to analyze the mail. They will grade
your email including the sending server parameters and tell you how
'good' your email is. With detailed explanations of what is wrong. My
initial score was pretty bad. It took some time and was a royal pain to
fix all of the issues. But I finally got the coveted 100% grade. It
appears gmail and others are finally happy with me and are letting my
emails thru.

Hi, I am running James 2.3.2 on a Linux (openSuSE 12.3) and recently
encountered a problem that I am unable to resolve. I use the maillist
mailet to manage a mail list for a number of users and now all emails
being sent by the users to accounts at AOL, Yahoo, MSN, GMail, and
Hotmail are bouncing. This is something new and I have not made any
changes to James's configuration for a very long time. I have checked
forward checking on reverse DNS look ups both via dig and on several
different DNS checking websites and that is working correctly. The log
files don't give me much help as far as I can decipher them, the
mailet logs just indicate that there was a problem such as -

This log response varies a bit depending on the exact mail server that
was the target of the email but looks similar enough to make me think
all these failures are related.
I cannot make much sense out of what is stored in the other log files
that relate to this particular problem though I do see a LOT of
exceptions being reported with stack walkback traces. I admit I do not
know enough about these log files to be able to make any sort of
correlation between the errors I see in the mailet log files and these
other errors being reported in other log files. So I am out of my
depths, any kind guru want to help me resolve this?
Thanks in advance.. Marc...
