I am not at all impressed with appriver either. I run a rather large mail server receiving hundreds of thousands of emails per day. Someone was trying to mail us from AppRiver's service and were not able to deliver their mail successfully to us. For mail delivery AppRiver connects from relay.appriver.com[207.97.230.34] but HELO's with inbound.appriver.com which has no A record. So not only do they connect from an IP different from what they HELO with but the HELO would appear to correspond with inbound mail and has no A record. This was tripping our spam detection heuristics. Upon contacting the admin he was rather arrogant insisting that they have never had a problem with this before, that our MTA must be misconfigured, and that they are RFC compliant. In fact, they are in violation of section 2.3.5 of RFC 5321. This occurred almost exactly a month ago. Unfortunately due to customer demands I had to whitelist this nonsense. I just checked and according to today's mail logs the situation is unchanged. -- Tracy Reed http://tracyreed.org
