OK, just checked the user database, and Walter is actively joined with the
e-mail address of
walter.klatt@shaw.ca. I don't see any problems in my
server logs with sending list messages to Walter or the other shaw.ca users.
But on a message Walter tried to post yesterday my system was still unable
to get a response from the Shaw server at 64.59.134.8... this has been the
biggest problem I've seen since this all started. However, since this
message was addressed to
rebel-builders@dcsol.com, it should have bypassed
the filter, and it didn't... now I just have to figure out why.
Also, when you post using your newsreader Walter, you are only using Shaw
for your internet connection... you are connecting directly to my news
server both for reading and posting... this completely bypasses Shaw's
servers.
An interesting note for Daryl... I just tried connecting to the above Shaw
host 5 times in a row manually... One time I got a could not connect to host
on port 25, 3 times it took from 25 to 45 seconds after connecting before I
got their mail servers helo, and the 5th try it connected and popped up
right away! Frustrating... I guess I'll have to look into what the timeout
is for my smtp server. Their other inbound server at 24.71.223.11 works
every time... just tried it 5 times and one time it took 3 seconds, every
other time it come right up. I think part of the problem with Walter not
able to get any messages through, where as he used to get half of them
through is that it appears from my test tonight that Shaw no longer has the
two IPs in a round robin... every time I do a look up it returns:
Name: idcmail.shaw.ca
Addresses: 64.59.134.8, 24.71.223.11
I think what is happening is that my server is connecting to 64... but it's
timing out before it ever responds. If I could just force it to connect to
the 24... system! aarg!

just this list. Since there are only about 5 Shaw users, Mike, why not

A whitelist on Mike's end won't solve the problem. Mike's server _IS_
trying to send the message to you, Shaw just won't accept the message from
Mike's server.
At the moment, I think I am actually blacklisted, because not only do my
messages not go through, but I don't get any bounce message either. So
for
now am using the newsreader to post to the list, which by the way is
still
Shaw, but not my email account.
Can't say why your message isn't being received by the list server. Maybe
your subscription got dropped? If that's the case, ignore what I said
above about his server trying to send you mail.
