Hi All; I'm hoping someone can help me with some strange email issues. I can send emails to most anyone except for the postgresql email lists. I've pinged 'em several times - even the list admins but I dont think my mails are getting through. At one point I tried to send an email to the list and I got this message back: ===================================== Hi. This is the qmail-send program at outboundproxy6. I'm afraid I wasn't able to deliver your message to the following addresses. This is a permanent error; I've given up. Sorry it didn't work out. <pgsql-admin@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>: 200.46.204.86 does not like recipient. Remote host said: 504 5.5.2 <outboundproxy6>: Helo command rejected: need fully-qualified hostname Giving up on 200.46.204.86. --- Enclosed are the original headers of the message. ===================================== I did some google searches and found lots of messages like this (they all seem to be related to this 200.46.204.86 IP): Can you perhaps track it down through the logfiles on the MX machine, using the ESMTP id of the last hop out of postgresql.org/hub.org? Since it appears to be a mail hosting company who *also* happens to use postini/google for their antispam, it can be pretty much any domainname at all, I think... And we can't very well null-route any address who uses postini as their relayers, becuase loads of legit users do that... //Magnus Marc G.
