[Tech] Scheduling of Next Tech Meeting; Verizon battle

[Daniel Melnechuk]

Hi folks,

I hope to be more responsive by the new year, but i'm not functioning  
well due to my mom's dying just a few weeks ago. Just can't seem to  
focus. Pick a date next year and i will come. Of course, not on AdCom  
which is usually the second monday of the month which would be the 8th.

I have been battling with verizon. I have filled out a form at  
verizon.net to whitelist our domain but that comes back saying we are  
not blacklisted. Yet we still continue to get the following in our / 
var/log/maillog:

Dec 18 12:56:09 green-rainbow postfix/smtp[15484]: 8F9777CCB:  
to=<saphron at verizon.net>, relay=relay.verizon.net[206.46.232.11],  
delay=21333, status=boun

allowed to send mail:sv15pub.verizon.net)

Dec 18 12:56:08 green-rainbow postfix/smtp[15498]: 2B4997C09:  
to=<saphron at verizon.net>, relay=relay.verizon.net[206.46.232.11],  
delay=256270, status=def
erred (host relay.verizon.net[206.46.232.11] said: 450 Requested mail  
action not taken-Try later:sv2pub.verizon.net)

I have googled the shit out of the two messages:

	450 Requested mail action not taken-Try later
	50 You are not allowed to send mail

and get tons of hits for verizon. The 450s may be since we are trying  
to send to many emails at once and it shuts us down. The link to the  
whitelist form was one.

So i have now emailed verizon at the email address they specify in  
the response that we are not being blocked. No response yet. I did  
this all yesterday.

If anyone knows more about how to fix whatever it is that is wrong so  
Verizon won't block us, let me know so i can get on it.

I have added green-rainbow.org as the primary MX -- perhaps that has  
not propagated yet. Our PTR record for our IP returns green- 
rainbow.org. Our EHLO from our postfix server is sending green- 
rainbow.org. We have SPF records thanks to Devon, which is one of the  
things that i have read Verizon is using. Any other thoughts?

One thing that is curious, i only see 450 and 550s for  
saphron at verizon.net, not other. Maybe their delivery has been turned  
off in our lists already. But then why not this address.

Peace,
Dan
