Hello,

Could anybody please help me to resolve this problem.
ISP's in South Africa have implimented greylisting, all mails sent to domains controlled by this ISP (many) just sit in the que and never get delivered.

This is causing me major headaches, and is starting loose me business.

The ISP Abuse department reposnded iand informed me theat my sever (PLESK 8.3) is not RFC-2821 compliant.

After much reading, and intense searching I have found this "patch"
http://www-dt.e-technik.uni-dortmund.de ... c2821.diff

patch-qmail-1.03-rfc2821.diff

What i understand is that if the primary MX does not respond, qmail will try the higher MX. If the primary MX responds but temp fails the message, qmail will try the same MX again later.

I dont know howto patch qmail???
Please anybody, some help would be great!

If they're failing because of that, then they're not getting mail from yahoo either.

Mail not sending.

Hello Scott.

My main issue is that mail is not sending.
Mails been sent to domains with this particular provider are just dying in the que.
Lucky for me we dont do much mail to yahoo or gmail :>

all i need right now is to sort out this particular issue.
Can you offer me some pointers?

Mark

There are a bunch of threads in the PSA forums about rebuilding qmail. My attempts at making a PSA compatible qmail rpm are available here:
