not getting reply notice

Post by CorpDirect »

Today I found and registered on PHPDN. What a wonderful resource! I've already started a topic, responded in others, and gotten replies.

Something is missing, though: reply notifications. Having had trouble with creative mailing list addresses in the past, I knew to go looking in our anti-spam logs, and sure enough: each time I should have received a message, there was a message blocked from nobody@vip.dnsprotect.com.

Further investigation showed that the original subscription confirmation, which was not blocked by the spam filter (thank goodness!), was logged as being (reportedly) from nobody@vip.dnsprotect.com even though the address in the mail header was different (Jason's address). I'm loath to add such a generic, spoofy-sounding address to our corporate spam filter, but do I have any other choice if I want to receive reply notifications from PHPDN?

If I add the real FROM address it will have no effect, as the spam filter check the reported address (among other things) during the SMTP transaction. Even if I whitelist the domain devnetwork.net this won't let the messages through. Will I have to set something up to trap these messages, then train my spam filter to recognize them as valid?

Thoughts, feedback, anecdotes welcomed.
