It would probably be helpful though if a GoW administrator could give you a copy of a bounce they got to send along.

(For that matter, I also use GMX for my main email address, and I haven’t received any emails from this forum since Jan 2014, but I’m not sure if I should have received any. I just subscribed to this thread, so we’ll see.)

Great, Christian, and very interesting, and Yay! I've got the notification of this, your answer here, per gmail ... :P

I wonder though how anyone would get to know about this 'Postmaster' website. Yesterday I didn't find anything, except a costly tel. number lol, yah, not too expensive, but I didn't want to pay some higher rate for maybe just a 'Sorry Ma'am, but we cannot help you with this right now or even not at all' lol ... 8-)

Ok, however, I've immediately filled in that form and I'm now waiting for an answer ... In case they'd need that bounce you're mentioning, Christian, I expect them to tell me this.

Their immediate return on the Postmaster site was --> 'Vielen Dank für Ihre Anfrage. Das Mailsecurity-Team von GMX meldet sich umgehend bei Ihnen. Wir haben folgende Daten erhalten:'
'Thank you very much for your inquiry. The GMX Mailsecurity-Team will get back to you promptly (asap). We've received the following data: (the summary of what I've filled in)' ...

Yeah, let's wait and see ... :)

Wow! everyone, I've just got the answer already, awesome ... :P

Ok, Christian, here's what they're saying, and I won't translate this all right now, sorry, but I even don't understand what they mean lol, so, I'll paste their answer in German here and please, Christian, be so kind to translate it to Adam and the H'Uru team, in case they'd be interested, or just tell them what all of that means, as you might immediately understand what they've meant to express and what they're advising ... Thanks ... :)

So it seems the trouble is that the reverse DNS records are not set up properly. I can confirm that:

Code: Select all
$ host 155.254.30.63
Host 63.30.254.155.in-addr.arpa. not found: 3(NXDOMAIN)


I am actually surprised this worked then, checking PTR records is not entirely uncommon.
