I'm getting this in the log when people from that IP try and register.  It works for other servers, but not this one.   The addresses being supplied for regisration are valid. (their mine!)


10/16/03 10:40:35:951 -- (304) Disconnect
10/16/03 10:40:50:962 -- (1740) Sending email from  to mailto:orders@xyz.com" CLASS="ASPForums" TITLE="WARNING: URL created by poster. - orders@xyz.com (changed to protect the innocent)
10/16/03 10:40:51:513 -- (1740) server error - 67.29.152.182 said: unacceptable mail address

the same domain is listed in local domain, and is passing mail fine!

Thanks.

Rich,

Are you sure that THEIR SMTP server is not blocking the address "orders@*" ?

As an example, I block the following:

anyone@*
noone@*
someone@*
anybody@*
friend@*
somebody@*


So if mailto:somebody@ourDomain.com" CLASS="ASPForums" TITLE="WARNING: URL created by poster. - somebody@ourDomain.com tried to register on you service, when you mail server attempted to sent the registration code, you would get a bounce back

Below,  I tried to mail to that IP by using one of the domains hosted on it:

The original message was received at Thu, 16 Oct 2003 22:08:25 -0400
from smtp.mags.net [66.181.192.64]

   ----- The following addresses had permanent fatal errors -----
< mailto:orders@christianparentalrights.com" CLASS="ASPForums" TITLE="WARNING: URL created by poster. - orders@christianparentalrights.com >

   ----- Transcript of session follows -----
... while talking to christianparentalrights.com.:
>>> RCPT To:< mailto:orders@christianparentalrights.com" CLASS="ASPForums" TITLE="WARNING: URL created by poster. - orders@christianparentalrights.com >
<<< 550 unknown user < mailto:orders@christianparentalrights.com" CLASS="ASPForums" TITLE="WARNING: URL created by poster. - orders@christianparentalrights.com >
550 < mailto:orders@christianparentalrights.com" CLASS="ASPForums" TITLE="WARNING: URL created by poster. - orders@christianparentalrights.com >... User unknown

Not sure any of this help or even applies but ...

Regards,

Dan S.

Rich,

In the "Register.asp" page, can you try modifying the line:

rs("EMailFrom") = "System Administrator <>"

to something like:

rs("EMailFrom") = " mailto:someemail@yourdomain.com" CLASS="ASPForums" TITLE="WARNING: URL created by poster. - someemail@yourdomain.com "

If that does not work, can you please let us know what version of SpamFilter you're using?

that particular domain, probably doesn't have a nobody set up to accept it. It's a new domain.  try something at scrapbookingdepot.com

Thanks,

Dan,

Also, I'm the ISP, I manage the servers, so I'm sure it's open.  And I've been testing pretty much with my domains.

Thanks for any help.

That worked... but.. would it have anything to do with the fact the return address is just "postmaster" and not a valid email address? 

Either case.. it doesn't make sense why It would work normal on 2 different servers hosting many domains, an not another server hosting many domains.

Thanks,

Rich
