Since they de-blacklisted roaringpenguin.com :-)
For those not in the know: roaringpenguin.com rejects mail from <>
to <postmaster at roaringpenguin.com> We do this because:
a) We never *send* mail as "postmaster at roaringpenguin.com", so we never
expect DSNs or vacation replies to that address, and
b) We have a real person reading postmaster's mail. I don't want
that person (aka me) to be sent mail that doesn't have a valid
return path, because it wastes my time.
RFC-Ignorant's owner contended that I was violating RFCs, and I contended
I was not. We had a big debate and the result was that he added the
third bullet point at http://www.rfc-ignorant.org/policy-postmaster.php
Regards,
David.
