Hmmm.. postmaster () mci net? -danny
Okay, I give up. Apparently MCI has an SMTP filter either on the domain netins.net or on something in the 167.142.0.0/16 network on postoffice.reston.mci.net. [167.142.225.4]$ telnet postoffice.reston.mci.net 25 Trying 204.70.128.20... Connected to postoffice.reston.mci.net. Escape character is '^]'. 220 postoffice.Reston.mci.net ESMTP Sendmail 8.8.5/8.8.5; Wed, 24 Sep 1997 11:2) HELO netins.net 250 postoffice.Reston.mci.net Hello kevin () worf netins net [167.142.225.4], pleased.. MAIL FROM:<kevin () netins net> 550 Access denied QUIT I've called the iNOC, they sent me to a 'systems group'. The systems group listened carefully and wrote down the error code '550 Access denied' before shuffling me off to the Reston office. There, I spoke to a very nice sales person, who searched a list of voicemail boxes she might forward me to. We pay MCI good money, and find ourselves unable to send mail to trouble () mci net or other MCI addresses. Now I'm stuck in the MCI phone maze. If there was an incedent warrenting an SMTP filter, we'd certainly deal with it if notified. I know if that happened with one of our downstream customers, we'd actually contact them before throwing in filters. Anyone know who takes care of postoffice.reston.mci.net ? Kevin
