can´t sent e-mail directly to hotmail.com

[dbq]

Hello!

(Another question from stupid me)

I can´t sent mail directly to hotmail.com from zimbra(webmail). But it works if I first sent an e-mail from hotmail to zimbra, then do a reply. It also works if I sent from gmail to zimbra, the forward from zimbra to hotmail.

Am I having Setting problem?

Have you checked your Log Files - Zimbra :: Wiki to see why it is not being accepted by hotmail ?

Also, http://www.zimbra.com/forums/announc...r-profile.html please so we know what version of ZCS you are running

Hello again!

The e-mail I sent from zimbra(webmail) to hotmail never bounced back to me.
The e-mail went away just fine, but never arriving to my hotmail account.

Like I said, it works if I first sent an e-mail from my hotmail account to zimbra, then in zimbra do a reply.
Then the e-mail shows up in my hotmail account(reply).

I have no problem sending and reveiving from other domains.

I´ve directly sent couple of mails from zimbra to my hotmail account. Just dont know where all the mails went to.

I´ve also check the admin ui(web) mail queues, there is nothing. No deferred.

which log file can I check this weird behaviour?

Check /var/log/zimbra.log for when Postfix sends the email to Hotmail. It should show which server received it and what the status was. Also, have you checked your Junk folder in Hotmail ? Do you have a valid MX record, RDNS record and possibly a SPF record ?

Hello,

I have the same problem.
I think that all my DNS settings are ok and valid.
When I use the web interface messages sent to hotmail disappear into vapor and the Message-ID is of the format: <3622076.01213112144631.JavaMail.root@egv-mail-u> (local host name)

I have noticed that if I use an imap client to send to hotmail it works and the Message-ID is of the format <1C9421B0B3BB49F693EB05F0713F5C97@mydomain.com>

Perhaps the lack of FQDN in the message-ID causes entrapment in hotmail's spam filter?

Which leads me to my next question:
How do I modify the Message-ID coming out of the web interface. I would like it to have FQDN (so that hotmail works). I have burned a couple of days reading and have not figured it out yet. Can anyone help?

Thanks,
Tod
