Email rejected when sent from ISP's SMTP - seanatw - 12-14-2010 03:38 PM
Hi there,
We have been telling clients to use our server as both the incoming and outgoing server for their email, however we keep getting calls from them complaining about email messages they send to themselves or others on the same domain not working. (still using their ISP's SMTP)
I pulled this from mail.log
Code:
Dec 13 21:16:40 christchurchwebsites postfix/smtpd[30763]: connect from mta02.xtra.co.nz[210.54.141.253]

The isp's server is listed in the manitu.net rbl list.

Yes I saw that, unfortunatey hundreds of people probably use this SMTP. The part I am worried about is "FROM/MX_MATCHES_NOT_HELO(DOMAIN)=2.087 CLIENT_NOT_MX/A_FROM_DOMAIN=5.85 CLIENT/24_NOT_MX/A_FROM_DOMAIN=5.85"
As to the blacklist, I guess there is little I can do about that.

This other part will go away if the server is not listed in any RBL. Essentially, policyd-weight performs a lot more checks when the origin server is in any blacklist (these two amongst them).
Anyway, if you want to avoid further problems with this specific ISP, what you should do is whitelist them.

Thanks greatly! That is exactly what I will do.
