Bad mailserver setup for s9y.org

Post by ScytaleWithNoPassword »

Hi. I forgot my password.

No, that's of course not why I'm writing this. I requested a new password as usual, and some seconds later I saw the following on my mail server logs:
exim_main.log wrote:2005-07-22 09:24:51 no IP address found for host root55.filoo.de (during SMTP connection from [62.93.205.77])
2005-07-22 09:24:52 H=(s9y.org) [62.93.205.77] sender verify fail for <www-data@s9y.org>: response to "RCPT TO:<www-data@s9y.org>" from fallback.freepoint.de [212.12.41.69] was: 553 sorry, that domain isn't in my list of allowed rcpthosts (#5.7.1)
2005-07-22 09:24:52 H=(s9y.org) [62.93.205.77] rejected MAIL <www-data@s9y.org>: Sender verify failed
So, what happened is that the mail server you are currently using (maybe because of the hardware failure announced on the home page?) does not think it is responsible for the domain s9y.org, and in particular not for the www-data address. Therefore, because it does not accept the adress, my server treats it as "not existing" and rejects mail from that possible spammer.

It's no problem for me to work around this stuff, but I think you'd like to know.

cowiki and phpbb have now been moved over to the new server, the issue reported above should not reoccur, as the mailserver is properly set up.
