I've got a new user who is having trouble sending mail via our SIMS server. When he tries to send, the first time he gets:
Can't send to 'http://www.dnsbl.au.sorbs.net/using.html'. The server gives this reason: '591 [63.226.240.3] No mail will be accepted. Your host is in a Black List. See <http://www.dnsbl.au.sorbs.net/using.html> Your mail to gre'
That's his IP, (which is on SORBS list as it's a dialup) and that is my outgoing blacklist message for SORBS. But since he's logged in as a verified user of our server (just checked mail, too) he should be able to send. And in fact, the second time he tries, he gets through.
I vaguely recall something like this being discussed a long while back, but don't recall the fix or workaround. He's using Eudora on Win 2K.
If your user is using Eudora's 'Send on Check' feature to automatically send queued messages when he retrieves mail, then Eudora is probably doing it in the wrong order. I.e., it's trying to send queued messages _before_ retrieving messages from the server.
Oh no! Don't tell me that Eudora has taken a hint from Outlook and done things backwards!
So the first time it tries to send, it hasn't yet authenticated its POP session, so the IP address hasn't yet been placed in the temporary clients list and SIMS rejects it. I'm not sure if Eudora still does this, but it used to. IIRC the feature was added to Eudora (and some other mailers of the same vintage) simply as a convenience before POP-before-SMTP became a popular authentication technique. It's a pain, but the work-around is to uncheck the 'Send on Check' preference and send your queued messages manually right after retrieving mail. Of course, the better solution is to use SMTP AUTH instead.
Will check to see if that's the problem. -- Bill Christensen http://greenbuilder.com/contact/
