Say we have a customer whose domain name is abcd.com, therefore all mail
coming from their domain is username@xxxxxxxxx Within this customer's site,
they have a unix server in a sub-domain called server.company.abcd.com . It
became necessary to send mail from the unix server to a vendor outside their
domain. Therefore, we created a custom recepient with the outside company's
address and made it a member of a distribution list so the unix server could
send the mail to a local email address, it would then go to the custom
recepient.
The problem is that the vendor who receives the email put in place a spam
filter that looks at the header and tries to resolve back to
server.company.abcd.com . When it doesn't, the spam software blocks the
mail. Does anyone have any ideas around this. Personally, I think it's up
to the vendor's ISP to allow the mail as it is legitimate, but I'm willing
to listen to other ideas...
Thanks!
