The ones that are missing are
the ones sent from dumbo, and dumbo is sort of special in
that it is not reachable from the Internet.
It's a spam filter problem, but not one that can be solved
at Niki's end.
I see that Susan's not getting some email too. I see
the following in the logs:
Nov 18 08:01:19 papio postfix/smtp[31763]: BE07A160875:
to=<nlearn at princeton.edu>, r
elay=ppa02.princeton.edu[128.112.128.216], delay=1, status=bounced
(host ppa02.princ
eton.edu[128.112.128.216] said: 553 5.1.8 <root at dumbo.localnet>...
Domain of sender
address root at dumbo.localnet does not exist (in reply to MAIL FROM
command)
And I have
mail queued on papio that looks like:
6928016063D 827 Mon Nov 16 21:10:08 root at dumbo.localnet
(host mx.oit.duke.edu[152.3.189.28] said: 450 <root at dumbo.localnet>:
Sender address rejected: Domain not found (in reply to RCPT TO
command))
alberts at duke.edu
I should have looked at the logs sooner. I thought something like
this might happen.
So, I will have papio rewrite dumbo's mail so that it looks
like the mail is coming from papio not dumbo. Not a problem.
