potato sendmail vs. hotmail.com
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 <MAILER-DAEMON@buzzer.desire.ch>
To: <some_user@hotmail.com>
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 -----
<our_customer@luescher.org>
----- Transcript of session follows -----
... while talking to mx0.gmx.de.:
>>>RCPT To:<our_customers_other_address@gmx.net>
<<< 550 The recipient does not accept mails from 'hotmail.com' over
foreign
mailservers
550 <our_customer@luescher.org>... User unknown
----[ end ]----
the user has got an e-mail address at gmx.net which forwards his mail to
our_customer@luescher.org (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

If your time is useless, use Linux.
