> That's not my experience. Mine either. I've been running my own personal MTAs since the mid-80s, and have switched VM hosting providers several times over the years. There are only three domains I can't send mail to: sympatico.ca, t-online.de, and bell.net. All three spit back 5XX responses in their initial greeting (before I can even send an EHLO), then promptly hang up. I publish SPF records, but refuse to participate in DKIM or DMARC. By avoiding the latter two, I don't have to navigate all their associated stupidity, and my mail goes through just fine. --lyndon _______________________________________________ mailop mailing list mailop@mailop.org https://list.mailop.org/listinfo/mailop
