manchot Posted April 27, 2004 Share Posted April 27, 2004 Hello folks, I've been a paid member for a few years, and have always forwarded my spams as attachments, gotten my ack from SC, and reported. For at least the past 2 days, whether single spams or mime-digests, nothing comes back 95% of the time. No email ack, no sign of the spams when I go to members.spamcop.net either. My spams are going into a blackhole! I'm on OS X, running Pine. Nothing has changed on my end. Submitting the spams by pasting into the form works. -manchot Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

manchot Posted April 29, 2004 Author Share Posted April 29, 2004 Well, I solved the problem, and it wasn't spamcop's fault, so I thought I'd post that here in case anybody else encounters thisl. I had started up postfix on my powerbook, running OS X Panther, and had failed to configure it to use my ISP's smtp so it was trying to connect directto the destination smtp!!! You need to put this line in /etc/postfix/main.cf: relayhost = my.own.isps.server The nasty part is that it wasn't sending any kind of "undeliverable" or rejection messages so I didn't suspect a thing! Postfix also keeps it's queue in /var/spool/postfix, not /var/spool/mqueue like sendmail does so I thought the mail was really going out! (I guess the ones that got through were due to moments when postfix wasn't actually running.) hope this helps somebody.. - manchot Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
