'[EMAIL PROTECTED]' is a common 'From' address for bounces. It's the '@bouncing.server' part of the address that's important, because it tells you which server bounced the message. > > If so, what does it say? > > I just sent another one and I will let you know. > > > Are the addresses you can't relay to in any way related to > > addresses that are local to your home SIMS, or would the match any > > router entries?

If you are not already running one of the SIMS 1.8 'beta' versions (i.e., you're using the 1.7 release version that's available for download from the Stalker web site), you should most certainly upgrade to either 1.8b8 or 1.8b9d14 (<ftp://ftp.stalker.com/pub/>). 1.7 is _very_ old and has at least one exploitable relay hole. The 1.8 betas have added several important anti-spam features. They've been around for quite a while and most of us have found them to be rock-solid stable (1.8 really should have gone to final release long ago, but that's a subject for another thread ;-] ). If you upgrade to 1.8b9d14 and re-submit your server to Osirusoft, you should pass their relay tests. > However, I don't have DNSbl checks on my eudora server that would > reject a message comming from that server so I don't know why it wont > relay. > > I've allowed both my home block of IP's and my work block of IP's in > the client hosts. > > I'll get back to you all with the bounced messages once it bounces. That'll be the first step. Once you know the reason given for the bounce, as stated in the bounce message, you will know where to look next for deeper information about the situation. -- Christopher Bort | [EMAIL PROTECTED] Webmaster, Global Homes | [EMAIL PROTECTED] <http://www.globalhomes.com/> ############################################################# This message is sent to you because you are subscribed to the mailing list <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>.
