osC emails going out to some, not others...hmm?

I've tried through both sendmail and SMTP mail - but no matter what setting, some email addresses will not receive my emails at all. This encapsulates all emails sent through osC (orders, signup, email to a friend etc. etc.) - so it's a global problem.

 

My ISP will receive emails no probs (optusnet.com.au), but my business address doesn't receive the emails at all! I had a collegue try from his email account on another server and it was filtered into the junk mail.

 

Any ideas?

Check your email headers to see who is the sender of the envelope.

 

Often it's nobody and some email servers will reject that. One poster here found a clever workaround which worked for him.

 

Define a mail account on your domain as nobody, ie: [email protected]. It can be a forward, it doesn't have to be a real account if you don't want to bother with a real one.

 

Then your outgoing mail system can verify that there is indeed a user by that name in the system and it will verify nobody as a known sender.
