Sympatico Email Being Blocked and Rejected!
Douglas E. Mitton
I guess I don't understand what you mean. I may have given too much
information in my post.
My setup is pretty normal, I write an email and forward it to
smtp1.sympatico.ca. They then forward it to my friends email address.
But, sympatico returns my email saying that recorder.ca has rejected
my email related somehow to "blackhole site" because my reply address
is @sympatico.ca.
I don't have an account on this destination site, nor am I trying any
form of a "relay". I think it should be all normal. It does seem to
be cleared up since sometime Monday evening. I am still having
problems with another ISP, that I DO have an account on not rejecting
and not delivering email with attachments.
