[TowerTalk] CO8DM

[Al Kozakiewicz]

His server is blocking the email because your server IP address does not match the FQDN sent. A misguided attempt to block spam that doesn't work with multiple hosts. The problem is in Cuba, not Canada.

Sorry Bryan. That's smtp/pop3 gibberish to me.  I would have no way of
knowing.
I get direct emails from Doug just fine. I just can't seem to get one TO
him.  I've tried 6 ways from Sunday to no avail and was just to the point of
giving up so
chose this once to use the towertalk bandwidth to convey my apologies to
Doug.

I would think if my local ISP (nbnet, parent company BELLALIANT, aka BELL)
was truly blocking email service from certain areas like Cuba, it would NOT
allow me to RECEIVE them, right?

I am pretty sure in the past I have spoken with Arnie CO2KK over email,
though it's been quite a few years ago now.

Thanks for the idea.maybe I'll remove the diode from my outgoing cat5e
line?!

Does your email transit via softlayer or is your email provider hosted
there?

Softlayer and a few other carriers are known to block Cuba, Iran, and the
DPRK
IP space.
