Thanks for the answer. Now, that the not-too-little ISP T-Online
is marked in the badmailfrom list, there come 2 questions.
1. What exactly did cause T-Online to find itself on
badmailfrom list? No just guesses please.
The T-Online Team told me, they would have had a few
problems with admins, who applied a faulty patch to
sendmail which wrongly assumed, their canonical email
address (envelope-sender!) would be inadmissible. In
the moment they can't test it for debian.novare.net is
not accessible (?).
If this is the case, please remove/modify that patch.
2. Under which conditions may T-Online recover from there?
Thank you,
Andreas.
