What difference could be seeing my ISP in mail sent from a remailer like mx2.suse.de to reject mail being sent originally to "MY-AKA /at/ opensuse.org", but accept mail being sent direct to "MY-EMAIL /at/ telefonica.net"?
What could be done about it?
It would be best taken up with telephonica, no?
Yes, but that is almost impossible. That's why I try to second guess what might be happening. If I phone them I will not get past a "flower pot": all smiles and nice words, nothing done. I'll try to find a contact email, but I don't expect to find it. [...] Its a chat support line, and requires installation of a certain windows software for secure chat identification. [...] Surprise... chat works. I'm chatting with them right now. He is asking "silly" questions. "Do you use outlook?" [...] At the end ("Please wait. I'm going to check your account") they said they only attended problems with their webmail service (meaning: I have no idea what you are talking about). They sent me to another site. The other site (telefonicaonline.com/nemesys) is a general site to report network problems like spam, port scans, etc. I wrote my report, click send, and... page not found. Twice. The page not found site said to try another site for help support. I went to that site, entered the report. They don't want my address data, said will post the answer in the board in 15 days. This site is for general client problems, aka FAQ...
This sounds like some spam filtering gone bonkers.
Maybe, but spam filtering is extra with them, and I don't pay that extra. And it comes in the form of a windows program to install in my computer.
At first glance the "refuses to talk to us" bit sounds like they are using some RBL which has picked up the suse postfix servers.
Yes, but... you see why not yourself, below
But the fact that list mail comes thru when only one address is in the headers suggests that they are doing some in-line rejection at the smtp level based on analysis of the TO header, which of course is totally wrong. (short circuiting I believe is the term used by the Spamassassin people).
Without access to the "envelope to" its pretty hard to tell.
Yes, probably. Right now, my test probes are working. Who knows! - -- Cheers, Carlos E.
