As I said above I have had messages rejected from all of my senders. Your test is cute but all it proves is that the filters fail to block spammy looking outgoing messages. I sure don't see how you can get from that message being being allowed to my (and others) random messages being blocked when they are not spam. Sure it demonstrates a failure but not the one I posted about.
No I haven't checked that my IP address has a PTR record, since the IP address is the dynamic one Cox assigns to me I have no control over that in any case. I don't even know what my IP is this week since I use DynDNS to give me an easy to remember name.
No I haven't checked to see if the IP is on any block lists for one simple reason that a fellow who is a "systems engineer for an ISP and run mail servers for a living" should be able to figure out without a major amount of work. And why would Cox be blocking one of their IP addresses from reaching their server and then issuing the error message they did and not one based on the IP involved?
Did you even go back and read my posts on the subject? Did you look at the reports from others on the subject?
So you are saying I faked the error messages in this one?
Am I so good at faking this stuff that I've fooled the Cox folks into several rounds of PMs here and e-mails over this issue? So good that I convinced them that my problem was real?
You may notice that all of my posts are related to my experiences with the system and none of them are pontification followed with a claim of vast experience and expertise. Heck if I wanted to do that I'd just claim to have invented the Internet... Claims are cheap on the net.
its an anti spam measure, if you want to send email from your own domain you need to either use alt ports or go to a biz account or with qwest (they unblock it upon request). -- »FreeDNS.afraid.org - Free DNS dynamic DNS subdomain and domain hosting
I am only elaborating on the port blocking of port 25 and others (not all are listed on their site).
As to why you keep getting seen as spam I dont know, Ill leave that to the Cox support teams. -- »FreeDNS.afraid.org - Free DNS dynamic DNS subdomain and domain hosting
