Rule of thumb: I respond to every single email I get, except really strange ones such as “can I be your friend?”. If I don’t respond to yours, then your host rejected my email, or you provided an invalid email address. For example:
This message was created automatically by mail delivery software.
A message that you sent could not be delivered to one or more of its
recipients. This is a permanent error. The following address(es) failed:
XXXXX@fantazm.com
SMTP error from remote mail server after RCPT TO:XXXXXX@fantazm.com:
host mx1.nedlinux.com [194.109.193.80]: 550 5.7.1 Client host rejected:
cannot find your hostname, [64.22.100.230]
A message that you sent could not be delivered to one or more of its
recipients. This is a permanent error. The following address(es) failed:
XXXXXX.janson@freenet.de
SMTP error from remote mail server after RCPT TO::
host mx.freenet.de [195.4.92.212]: 550 inconsistent or no DNS PTR record for 64.22.100.224 (see RFC 1912 2.1)
Because of this… please make posts instead of emailing me. Posting questions on the boards will not only ensure that I will be able to respond properly, but will also help others who have the same question in the future.
