Hi all,
I'm unable to send mail to freebsd-questions mailing list using mutt/qmail.
I can successfully send (and receive) mail to (and from) other addresses. I've
tried to send mail to freebsd-questions@freebsd.org and after few days I've
received this error message:
Attachment #1:
This Message was undeliverable due to the following reason:
Your message was not delivered because the destination computer was
not reachable within the allowed queue period. The amount of time
a message is queued before it is returned depends on local configura-
tion parameters.
Most likely there is a network problem that prevented delivery, but
it is also possible that the computer is turned off, or does not
have a mail system running right now.
Your message was not delivered within 4 days.
Host freebsd.org is not responding.
The following recipients did not receive this message:

The problem seems to be the HELO command. Here's my configuration to diagnose
the problem.
I have a dial-up connection with to different ISPs: TIN (http://www.tin.it/)
and Tiscali (http://www.tiscalinet.it/). I have a script that makes a
connection and gets the following information:
/etc/resolv.conf: domain name (tin.it or tiscalinet.it)
DNS1 (provided either by TIN or Tiscali)
DNS2
/var/run/smtpserver: either mail.tin.it or smtp.tiscalinet.it
The script /etc/ppp/ip-up writes two files:
/var/run/local-IP: The dynamic IP assigned by TIN or Tiscali
/var/run/hostname: The hostname assigned by TIN or Tiscali
for example a-tr3-47.tin.it
I have three email addresses:
1) fcasadei@monrif.net : only for mailing lists (freebsd-questions,
freebsd-stable, ctm-announce and ctm-src-4). Note that Monrif is NOT one
of my ISP!
2) f.casadei@tiscalinet.it : my 'official' address
3) casadeif@tin.it : my old address
I use fetchmail (as user casimiro) to:
receive from | deliver to
------------------|-------------------------
mail.monrif.net | casimiro-monrif-fcasadei
pop.tiscalinet.it | casimiro-tiscali-f.casadei
box1.tin.it | casimiro-tin-casadeif
In mutt I have several folder-hooks that set the proper Return-Path: and From:
fields.
QMail is configured to send all outgoing mail to /var/qmail/alias/pppdir (I've
put :alias-ppp in /var/qmail/control/virtualdomains and ./pppdir/ in
/var/qmail/alias/.qmail-ppp-default). To send mail I execute (as root) the
script /usr/local/bin/mail-out:
#!/bin/sh
maildirsmtp /var/qmail/alias/pppdir alias-ppp- \
`cat /var/run/smtpserver` `cat /var/run/hostname`
Now, what's wrong with this configuration? What do I have to do to send mail
to freebsd-related mailing lists?
Thanks in advance for your help,
Francesco Casadei
