Problem with realtime blacklists (RBL) and smtpfront-qmail
« on: July 02, 2004, 08:38:06 PM »
I am having some mail blocked and I can't figure out why.  Below is an example.  The IP address is not in any of the databases as a spammer.  Can anyone read below and enlighten me as to why this mail is getting rejected?  Thanks!  --David

The mail was addressed to mail.xxx.com, but your server announces itself as saber1.xxxx.com - are you sure your local DNS has an alias of mail for the server?  Even then, I have a feeling that server aliases are only valid for local traffic.

Your correspondent really needs to address mail to user@xxx.com, not user@mail.xxxx.com
