Re: This is a weird one, re: email not getting out of our V6 box

Have you used multiple email domains?

I ask, because we had odd results on an email experiment.  Turned out
the if the email domain was cox.com, that server did a reverse DNS.
We were using ancient SNDEMAIL command.  No log.  But, I changed the
sender email to my home email address, and received the failed reverse
DNS email.  Once the DNS entry was fixed at our system office, mail to
cox.com worked.  There is that and potentially blacklisting that could
be an issue.  Beyond that, I am out of my element.  Just a couple of
suggestions.
