hello i'm running a potato box with sendmail. one of my users complained that whenever somebody tries to send him an e-mail from a hotmail.com address (the hotmail web interface), he gets the following error message:
(e-mail addresses have been changed because of privacy issues) ----[ begin ]---- From: Mail Delivery Subsystem <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subject: Returned mail: User unknown Date: Mon, 30 Oct 2000 16:25:00 +0100 The original message was received at Mon, 30 Oct 2000 16:24:50 +0100 from f230.law9.hotmail.com [64.4.9.230] ----- The following addresses had permanent fatal errors ----- <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> ----- Transcript of session follows ----- ... while talking to mx0.gmx.de.: >>>RCPT To:<[EMAIL PROTECTED]> <<< 550 The recipient does not accept mails from 'hotmail.com' over foreign mailservers 550 <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>... User unknown ----[ end ]---- the user has got an e-mail address at gmx.net which forwards his mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] (which is on our server). obviously sendmail doesn't like the fact that the hotmail mail is coming from a different host. what can i do about this? regards stefan -- stefan ott cellular: +41.79.2459777 [EMAIL PROTECTED] phone: +41.62.8274115 http://stefan.desire.ch fax: +41.62.8274118 If your time is useless, use Linux. If your network and data are useless, use Windows NT.
