Hi,
Yesterday I received a report from an AOL user that she's not receiving traffic from one of my lists. The problem here is that my server logs show outgoing mail being accepted by AOL's incoming mail servers, and of course after that it's anyone's guess what happens to them. She says she's checked her junkmail folder and the messages aren't there. Does anyone have any thoughts on this? Is AOL known to silently discard mail they think is spam for some reason? I replied to her message from the same server and she did receive that reply, so they haven't outright blocked my IP or something. Even if I could contact someone who knows what they're doing at AOL, there are no error logs for me to show.
AOL got absorbed into Yahoo, which in turn got absorbed into Verizon, which in turn split off Yahoo mail to a holding company. So, yeah, it is anyone's guess what is happening off in Yahoo-mail land. *Yahoo* is known to greylist mailling list posts, either because Yahoo thinks they are spam or simply because it is getting too many messages from a given source. If the latter, configuring mailman to send fewer messages at a time might help.
Question: are there other people on your list with any of these addresses:
@yahoo.com
@verizon.net
@aol.com
@netscape.com??
Are they getting posts from the mailling list?
Have you been getting spam reports from Yahoo?
What do you get when you use the mailq command to check the mail queue on your E-Mail server (eg Postfix or Sendmail)?
