RE: Witango-Talk: [OFF TOPIC] Mail server

[Steve Smith]

I'll start by stating that I am not experienced when it comes to running mail servers and dns (although I do understand the basics). Forgive the stupid question but what do you mean by "...are using mail resources that are not registered and traceable..."?   Does this mean that if I send mail with a return address that doesn't match the domain name of the mailserver that it goes out from that it is considered to be not registered?   Please let me know.   Thanks,   Steve Smith Oakbridge Information Solutions Office: (519) 624-4388 GTA:    (416) 606-3885 Fax:    (519) 624-3353 Cell:   (416) 606-3885 Email:  [EMAIL PROTECTED] Web:    http://www.oakbridge.ca   -----Original Message----- From: Ben Johansen [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: June 5, 2003 6:42 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: RE: Witango-Talk: [OFF TOPIC] Mail server Ok,   AOL is a start to a trend to curb spam. “Reverse DNS (PTR) entries” is going to become standard   Rest assured that this is going to become a big factor for those out there who are using mail resources that are not registered and traceable. This is going to have good and bad effects.   The good side will be reduced spam due to the fact that it will take longer and be harder for spammers to set up due in part because the time frame for DNS updates (ie. Your Domain could take up to 3 days to fully filter out to all DNS servers)   The bad side is that it is going to force users that can’t afford to setup a full mail server out of the loop.   This is coming…     Ben Johansen - http://www.pcforge.com Authorized Witango Reseller http://www.pcforge.com/WitangoGoodies.htm Authorized MDaemon Mail Server Reseller http://www.pcforge.com/AltN.htm -----Original Message----- From: Rick Sanders [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, June 05, 2003 11:23 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Witango-Talk: [OFF TOPIC] Mail server   Hey List,   I have a WiTango ecommerce site. It sends a confirmation email to the client after their order.   For some reason, all the email to AOL is being bounced back. Any other domain is fine. Has anyone encountered this, and is there a way to fix it?   My mail server is set up with tight security, and no spam is being sent from my server.   Thanks, Rick Sanders, President Tel: (201) 521-0396 Fax: (201) 521-0390 Email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Web: www.webenergy-sw.com
