OT: test 99

On Sun, Aug 01 17:20 , John Esak, showing utter disregard for 
spell-checkers gave us this:

You aren't being black-listed here.

BUT - I've seen 5 or 6 of your test emails.

I'm looking at them in the spool area on my machine.

The one with the text 'second test' - left your machine
about 11:52AM Sunday morning,  and arrived at celestial.com
seven minutes later.

Those are in the headers and there is no way to know that both
machines were synchronized to a master clock and the transport
headers aren't there to show if there was any delay.

It was delivered to the filepro-list machine about 20 minutes
later.  However it appears it didn't get sent from the
filepro-list-bounces until about 1PM EST today [Monday].

However looking at the headers of the email it is coming from
an address with no reverse lookups 209.173.24.17.

The link above that is a ptd.net connection to nexus.

Sending from a machine that has no reverse lookups means that
many places will drop your eamil on the floor.

I suspect the delay at celestail would be that Bill had to manually
verify the message was OK.

You need to get pdt.net to set up a reverse lookup on any IPs
from which you are going to transmit mail.

That's what I'm seeing.
