Hi All,

I use to be able to send email from my argo mail server using a hotmail.com email address rather then my domain name but recently i have had trouble doing so...

After composing a new email and changing the from address to XXX@hotmail.com it says the message sends but the mail never arrives to recepient regardless of their address hotmail or not. Below is a log, would I be correct in stating that M$ no longer supports this process and can I do anything about it?

27/09/2007 9:52:31 AM - [    62] 250 mail from IP xxx.xx.xx.xx soft failed sender ID check. Please ensure this IP is authorized to send mail on behalf of [hotmail.com]
27/09/2007 9:52:31 AM - [    62] QUIT
27/09/2007 9:52:31 AM - [    62] 221 bay0-mc8-f22.bay0.hotmail.com Service closing transmission channel

Cheers

That is in a nut shell correct. The SoftFail message you see is the result of an spf check. Basically they are saying that your server is not authorized so send out 'hotmail'. In this case I don'blame them, if they did allow that then spammer could easily send all they want and make it aear to be from Hotmail servers.

Think about it this way, how would you like it if someone was sending out spam and making it look like it was from your domain?

Mail Server v1.0.5.9

Mail Server

  • Added additonal tracking of connections for SMTP and POP3: if they stay on for over 30 minutes, they are getting disconnected;
  • Fixed a problem with mailbags when they accept mail only when main server is down: in case of timeout mailbags were still treating the main server as "available" and rejecting mail;
  • Changed color coding of logs. Now red denotes only errors, delivery is green, POP3, SMTP, IMAP connections - blue;

Web Interface

  • Fixed a problem, when session timeouts were causing errors in the windows system logs;

Email Address Validator

We have discontinued our email address validation service, and launched new web site:

http://www.emailaddressvalidator.com

It provides the web service interface to validate lists of email addresses. We hope that our service will help to reduce unwanted traffic on Internet, ensuring that mail is sent only to valid and legitimate addresses.

Sign up now, and get 150 free validations!

Mail Server v1.0.5.8

Mail Server

  • Mailbags now have an option to accept mail only when specified server is down - will help to fight with spam which attempt to deliver mail bypassing the main server;
  • When delivering mail, if main exchanger returns 4xx reply (temporary problem), the server will not try other exchangers, will retry later the main exchanger;
  • Server options moved from registry to a XML file. 64 bit versions of Vista and 2008 server appear to be having access rights problems to the Windows registry, and the change will make our server more compatible with 64 bit versions;
  • Added an option to specify the number of lines on the log screen, when using the user interface. Was causing memory problems if left running for long time;
  • Fixed couple of problems, which were showing when SQL server was set up to use case sensitive SQL statements;
  • Made changes in the remoting interface to allow logging in using aliases;

Web Interface

  • Made changes to allow logging in using aliases;
  • When viewing folders, web interface now displays the name of logged in user;
