[brlug-general] Mail to Earthlink

[Edmund Cramp]

Ok - so blacklists don't apply and it's unlikely that there's anything in your setup that's causing the messages to drop unless Eudora is malformed which is probably low on the list of possibilities.  You could send a test mail out to our server but I doubt that it will tell you much although it will run Spam Assassin on the mail and tell you what it thinks for what that's worth.

I think your friends need to get another mail server or a gmail account. 

Regards
