from spamcop[at]devnull.spamcop.net domainkeys fail

[seafire 0]

Hi

Spamcop was attempting to send me an email, it was a verification of a server addition. My server rejected the mail with the following error:

l2R41fUO082150: Milter insert (1): header: Authentication-Results: tania.servebbs.org from=spamcop[at]devnull.spamcop.net; domainkeys=fail

dk-filter[79619]: l2R41fUO082150: bad signature data

The setup here is FreeBSD 6.1-RELEASE-p10 running sendmail 8.14.0

Any info on why this may be happening would be appreciated.

TIA

Based on your "verification of a server addition" description, the assumption has to be made that you are talking about a "MailHost Configuration of your Reporting Account" porcess .... so with this post, this Topic wll be moved to that Forum section ...

Based on the thousands upon thousands of folks that have gone through the process already, it's pretty hard to say what went wrong for you ... expecially without seeing the actual headers imvolved.

This "probe" e-mail is pretty much automatic. My first guess is that DomainKeys isn't actually used, so the 'test' is too strict at your end ... but that's only a guess at this point.

Argh! It looks like we might have a server using a bogus domainkeys signature. I don't know.

Any chance you can tell me which of our servers tried to send you that message? I need that info so I can go to our sysops to see if we're using domainkeys on it. A full copy of the rejection info would be helpful.

Please email me directly with the info: service[at]admin.spamcop.net

In the meantime, try your Mailhost registration again. Maybe a different server will handle it this time and it will go through.

Yes, looks like.

Just emailed you a complete set of transaction log entries on one bounce; it tells all.

Please email me directly with the info: service[at]admin.spamcop.net

Done!

That's exactly what happened, it went through.
