[clug-talk] Mail Problem

[Gustin Johnson]

Does your kline.ca MTA (ie sendmail) reside on a "residential" connection?

Is there a copy of the message kept on the kline.ca server?

You could be triggering some spam filtering appliance given the 
weirdness of the mail headers (I use the term weirdness to refer to the 
fact that 99+% of email does not do what your email does).  Is there a 
reason to use Shaw's SMTP servers?  You should be able to connect 
directly to the telus smtp server (smtp.telusplanet.net) if you are 
forwarding mail to a telus mail box.  I believe that telus supports tls 
so the connection can be secured.

In both cases it looks like Shaw email server accepted the message, so 
the problem is likely from that point on.  --
