Yeah, I know that too. That was kind of my point... You can't just browse through the log files because it's full of those and it'll just put you to sleep. When I parsed maillog for the domain that couldn't send me mail I didn't find any entries. I can grep for "Rejected" and find plenty I can grep for "google" and find plenty I suspect that particular domain uses "gmail for business" (or at least, the particular user has her outgoing server set for a gmail server) and that's what's causing the rejection. - But, it doesn't happen every time. At least not to mailing-list messages from that domain. Only the messages from that particular user (that I know of). I'll figure it out, I just thought someone might know of a particular issue with companies that use google's mail services. Of course, we may be the only three that are still subscribed to this list ;-) Shannon From: Doug Hardie Sent: Wednesday, October 19, 2016 7:09 PM Well, the line you listed below is a block from spamhaus.org. You are using that RBL to block spam and it has received spam from the originating IP address. Its not a misconfiguration unless you didn't want spamhaus blocking. If you want to retain spamhaus blocking then you need to tell the originator to contact the admin's at the originating MTA to have them fix the problem that cause the blockage by spamhaus. > On 19 October 2016, at 17:11, Shannon @ shaw <MCEStaff@shaw.ca> wrote: > > I didn’t really ask for a simple answer... > It’s not so much the understanding, it’s more like laziness.
